. Our Vision The vision of Camp Ararat is to one day have our own camp facility, where the children of our Diocese can come together from across the provinces to create everlasting friendships and to strengthen their faith in the Armenian Apostolic Church, an integral part of their culture and heritage. This same facility would serve as a central location to be used for various other Diocesan projects and activities. Come join us in realizing our vision and making it a reality. The future of our people lies in the eyes and hearts of our children. Let’s make it happen! For further information or to make a donation to Camp Ararat, please contact any of our Parish Offices or any of the Liaison Representatives listed in the "Contact" link. |
