Campers at AGBU Cairo's Camp Wadi participated in rock climbing and other sports, as well as lectures, debates and cultural tours during the five-day February session.
AGBU Cairo's Wadi camp saw its largest enrollment in its second year when 57 teens from Egypt, Syria and Lebanon took part in the five-day February session, reaching a milestone of multinational participation.
Campers from Cairo and Alexandria were joined by 17 others from AGBU-AYA Aleppo, Syria, and AGBU-AYA Beirut, Lebanon. The teens played sports, games, attended lectures, and held lively debates. They went on a tour of the pyramids and a visit to the Egyptian Museum. The activities brought campers together on many different levels so that they could exchange ideas and make lifelong friendships.
During multiple activities oriented around Armenian heritage, the campers were able to expand their understanding of their ethnic history with support from camp leaders. Campers from Syria and Lebanon became acquainted with the Cairene Armenian community through interactions with local campers and a reception at HMEM Nubar Cairo club.
