“[My favorite vacation] is a camp held by BYU called Aspen Grove in Utah. It's held in the mountains, and I love being up there. I didn't appreciate it before Covid [hit]. My family goes every June, but the most recent time was my favorite because my whole family on my dad's side was there, and they live all over the country, so it was nice to see them all in one place. [The best] moment was when we decided to stay up until 11 p.m. doing karaoke. We got shut down by the [counselors] because we were being too loud and it was too late at night, but we got to sing a lot of different, funny songs like 'Stacy's Mom,' which was hilarious.” - Rachel Brazier, 10
