Buenos Aires, Argentina – In keeping with its tradition of engaging
Armenian youth in cultural and social activities, AGBU Buenos Aires
held its annual day camp for children, ages 3-12, during its recent
summer months.

Beginning mid December ’05 and running through the end of February
’06, the AGBU Colonia de Vacaciones offered a myriad of recreational
activities to hundreds of children. The program attracted 95 campers
in December, 153 in January and 112 in February. Daily activities
included music lessons, playing sports and swimming in the pool at the
local AGBU Alex Manoogian Center, as well as camping trips each month.
