Camp Bow Wow named South Valley Chamber Apex Award winner in Sandy

Camp Bow Wow in Sandy received the South Valley Chamber Apex Award for 2025, the chamber announced at a South Valley Chamber event in Sandy.

A South Valley Chamber representative said, "The South Valley Chamber Apex Award or Sandy is given to a business that has been engaged with the Chamber, engaged with the community, and has worked hard to grow their business. We're pleased this year to be able to have Camp Bow Wow as our Sandy South Valley Chamber Apex Award winner." The representative noted the winners have taken part in chamber lunch events and education programs.

A Camp Bow Wow representative said the business "has been in Sandy for almost 4 years" and that the owners are a sibling team. The speaker identified the owners as Mark Jarvis and Jody Nelson and described Jarvis as "a retired canine police officer for 17 years" who serves as the trainer and manager. The representative described services at the Sandy location—grooming, boarding, training and a puppy program—and said that customers return because of the clean facility and friendly staff.

Another speaker congratulated Mark Jarvis, Rayanne, Jody Nelson and Ken for receiving the South Valley Chamber Apex Award, and the chamber representative repeated that Mark and Jody "have done a great job of engaging with the Chamber" and "are very deserving of this Apex Award for 2025." The chamber representative also said the owners have plans to expand and serve more of Sandy and the South Valley.

The award recognizes local business engagement with the chamber and the community; no formal votes or government actions were recorded in the remarks provided. The presenters and speakers did not specify a formal award ceremony date beyond referring to the 2025 Apex Award or provide specific expansion timelines or financial details.
