About Us
Mission Statement

The Mission of Camp Ararat is to provide an environment where Canadian youth can experience Christian faith and Armenian heritage in a fun, safe and educational setting while developing skills in fellowship and service to the church and community.

 Since its inception as a Diocesan based youth camp in 2003, Camp Ararat has continued and grown as a not-for-profit organization run by a spiritually guided group of volunteers. We are comprised of a Board of Directors which body is mandated by The Canadian Diocese of the Armenian Holy Apostolic Church represented by His Grace Bishop Bagrat Galstanian, Primate of Canada, and the Diocesan Council.  The Board of Directors has established Liaison Committees throughout the regions of Canada which bodies govern themselves in accordance with the direction of the Board of Directors. The Camp Program is managed by the Executive Director of the Board and the programs are run by the Camp Director and the various Program Coordinators. Please see our Organization Chart for further details.

There is also a fireside area to host bon fires while toasting marshmallows and conducting sing-alongs.

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!
