I remember my amazing memories, friendships, and experiences at Armenian camp every summer. For most children, summer camp is a time to celebrate the end of school, have adventures and make new friends. It’s a magical and memorable experience.

For children who have experienced great hardships — like displacement or the loss of a parent during war — camp holds even more significance. It is therapeutic and healing. It distracts the mind and decompresses the soul.

During the camp, children form life-long friendships. They learn and develop new skills, sight-see, and participate in a full range of fun and exciting activities. They eat regular and balanced meals and are physically active. This year, they’ll even be introduced to lacrosse thanks to the support of the Armenian Lacrosse Federation! 

It’s about $250 per child for 16 days of camp. The goal of this project is to send 60 children to camp, but if they raise more, they will send even more children!
