Camp Nubar’s 2006 Summer Session A Huge Success
On August 14, 2006, AGBU Camp Nubar wrapped up its 42nd summer
season with 235 enthusiastic campers and 75 devoted counselors and
administrators. AGBU’s largest camp continues to lead the way in
providing high quality facilities and an extensive list of activities
for youth from around the world.
Ranked by the American Camp Association (ACA), the American Red Cross
and the American Academy of Pediatrics as a first-rate modern facility,
Camp Nubar is unique among Armenian camps.
Campers participated in a vast array of activities such as
horseback riding, ceramics, tennis, archery, swimming, basketball
and sailing. Alumni and guest instructors were invited to teach
in specialized areas of interest such as water-skiing, wilderness
survival and Armenian language and cooking.
To keep pace with the growing demand for modern and spacious
accommodations, Camp Nubar has undergone drastic renovation and
expansion efforts in the last several years. This year alone,
construction was completed on another Girl’s Camper Cabin, a
new Girl’s Counselor Cabin, a major expansion to the Director’s
Cabin/Administration Building, the renovation of a former Camper
Cabin into a Counselor Lounge, and the addition of an Alumni House
for visiting staff members.
Some highlights of the 2006 camp sessions included an Open House for
family and friends, a carnival, a banquet, and the traditional 3-day
event called "Color Wars" for campers. These highlights and the rest
of Camp Nubar’s activities help Armenian youth create valuable and
long-lasting relationships and memories.
Accredited by ACA (), AGBU Camp Nubar was founded in
1963 and continues to be a summer haven for Armenian youth from all
around the world. For more information on Camp Nubar, please call (212)
