America's premier training center

Camp W.G. Williams

Dear Guests and Friends of the Utah Training Center at Camp Williams:

On behalf of the garrison commander, training site manager, and staff, we welcome you to the Utah Training Center at Camp Williams. 

Thank you for making this last season extremely fun and successful!  Last year the Utah Training Center was literally bursting at the seams, making it especially challenging to fit everyone in.

We understand that youth conferences are traditionally a 2-3 day events.  With all of the military units training for deployments this year plus a generous mix of budget cuts; sleeping quarters, dining facilities, or classrooms requested may not be available for the entire desired duration.

We definitely want to work with you to make your conferences as successful and fun as possible.

The most successful solution for conferences this year is to come out for an entire day.  Spend the morning or afternoon building character while participating in much needed service projects.  Reward the group with three hours of fun, team building and leadership development activities on the Leadership Reaction Course (LRC).  Then marvel at your own accomplishments as you push yourself beyond the comfort levels concealing how brave you really can be on the Rappel Tower.  Be amazed as the most timid member of your group leans over the edge and begins to beam as he or she discovers the hidden strength within. 

As their leader, you can hold your head up high because you are the one that can give your team this fleeting opportunity to be away from the TV, video games, cell phones, and even social networking sites just long enough for members of your group to learn that they really do have inside of them, what it takes to be successful!

After a long and rewarding day of working and playing in the sun; wind down with an evening poolside barbecue.  Wrap up the day as the sun sets by sharing your experiences with each other on the lawn, watch a movie or hold a concert at the amphitheater, or maybe even sponsor an outdoor social and dance.

While we strongly encourage creative solutions, all non-military organizations will not be authorized to set up tents.

  As we process each request, we will call the Point of Contact to discuss the request.  New requests are now being accepted for 2011 and will be placed in a first-come �� first served holding queue.  Because military planning is done in January, all other requests are not able to be processed until February.

We understand that waiting until February makes planning difficult and we appreciate your patience.  Because we also understand how precious vacation days are for working families, waiting until after the military is finished scheduling ensures that those vacation days are not wasted by being "bumped" by a military unit needing the same dates.

In order to expedite your request, please include the total potential number of males and females in your group (even if they do not plan on participating) and as many alternate dates that are realistic for your group.

For your benefit, this website includes “Frequently Asked Questions”, “Guidelines”, and “Prices” links.  When you are ready to make a reservation, please click on any of the “Make a Reservation” links located all throughout this page.

After reading the frequently asked question below, if you still have questions please call the Utah Training Center, Operations Office at (801)878-5415

Thank you again for your interest in Utah Training Center at Camp Williams.
