On July 24, 2011, AGBU Camp Nubar opened its gates to parents, grandparents, alumni and friends at its 31st annual Open House. The Catskill Mountains offered a spectacular backdrop for families to visit campers and for alumni to reminisce about their time at the camp.

The day started with His Eminence Archbishop Khajag Barsamian celebrating the Divine Liturgy in the Nazarian Center with campers and staff in the morning. Following the church service, campers participated in horseback riding and waterfront shows, and played the finals of the camp-wide tennis tournament. Campers, staff, and guests were also treated to a Armenian lunch prepared by a group of volunteer alumni and parents, led by Jeff Zoraian.

Throughout the day, Armenian-inspired ceramics and art projects -- created under the guidance of Ella Pepanyan, from one of the AGBU Children's Centers in Yerevan -- were on display. Parents watched campers of all ages perform Armenian dances and songs under the direction of Arman Julhakyan, who is also from one of the AGBU Children's Centers.

Camp Nubar is proud to announce a very successful 2011 camp season with record enrollment. To learn more about Camp Nubar and to see how much fun campers are having this summer, please visit www.campnubar.org.
