Each year hundreds of young Armenians come together for fellowship, faith, and fun times at the Diocese's two summer camps. St. Vartan Camp is held in upstate New York, while Hye Camp is held in Illinois.

These camps allow youth to spend time with Armenian children from throughout the Diocese, grow in their faith, and laugh and play in a wholesome atmosphere. Campers range in age from 8 to 15 at St. Vartan Camp and from 9 to 15 at Hye Camp.

The daily program at the camps provides a blend of Armenian religion, language, culture, history, dance, music, arts and crafts, and a full sports program, including soccer, basketball, softball, volleyball, tennis, and swimming. Special activities include dances, talent shows, camp Olympics, and much more.

For session, registration, fee, staff and all other information related to our Summer Camps, please visit either the St. Vartan Camp website or the Hye Camp website. Thank you.

St. Nersess Summer Conferences

St. Nersess Seminary expects more than 200 young people to attend this year’s summer conferences. This is a chance for young people to take a step closer to their Armenian Christian roots and a step closer to God.

It's going to be a great summer at St. Nersess! If you would like to attend one of the conferences, make sure and register early. Space is limited and the conferences will be filling up fast.
