Never Too Young for Camp Nubar – Inaugural Young Professionals Retreat
Opens Cabin Doors & Hearts to AGBU
Andes, NY – Forty Armenians from greater New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, and even Monaco, joined the AGBU Young Professionals of
Greater New York (YPGNY) and YP Boston in kicking off their inaugural
joint retreat at AGBU Camp Nubar from August 18-20, 2006. While making
friends and memories in the scenic Catskill Mountains of upstate New
York, YP campers enjoyed the summer weekend getaway complete with a
variety of indoor and outdoor activities, such as swimming, boating,
tennis, yoga, basketball and hiking.
By uniting sister YP communities on the recently renovated grounds of
Camp Nubar, guests were provided the unique opportunity to connect in
a tranquil setting far away from hectic city life. "The AGBU YP
Retreat to Camp Nubar was a wonderful experience, and gave the
northeast chapters an opportunity to meet each other and enjoy the
beauty of the Catskill Mountains," said Stephan Nigohosian of
Ridgewood, NJ. "It also promoted a feeling of extended family among
the campers, and strengthened the Armenian bond among the
up-and-coming generation."
YPGNY ([email protected]) and YP Boston ([email protected]) are
committed to upholding the mission of AGBU to preserve and promote the
Armenian identity and heritage through educational, cultural and
humanitarian programs. For more information on AGBU Young
