SPEND TIME WITH OUR YOUTH THIS SUMMER

St. Vartan Camp, held this year from June 26 to July 24, is looking for
medical professionals to staff the camp health center.

All applicants must possess a current LPN, RN, PA, NP or MD license and
be certified in CPR for the professional rescuer. Camp directors will
help volunteers who are not licensed in New York State obtain
reciprocity.

Health center workers have a variety of responsibilities, including:
overseeing the general health and safety of campers and staff,
administering medication, and maintaining and reviewing health records.
Weekly camp population is about 150 campers and staff.

A minimum stay of one week is preferable, although camp organizers
welcome those who can stay for shorter periods. Room and board are
provided, and the salary is negotiable.

This year the camp will be run at the Diocese’s new Ararat Youth and
Conference Center in Greenville, NY, located in the heart of the
Catskill Mountains, just 30 miles south of Albany.

If you or someone you know qualify and are interested in spending time
with the kids this summer, contact St. Vartan Camp Director Yn. Arpi
Kouzouian by e-mailing dym@armeniandiocese.org or calling (617)
876-2700.
