What a perfect location for God to place a camp! Perfectly located along the Marmarik River and just 90 minutes from Yerevan in Artavaz, Armenia, the site was formerly a Young Pioneer Communist training camp. Abandoned after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the existing structures on the property have fallen into disrepair, but most are still stable enough to be renovated.
This past summer , more than 1,900 Armenian kids attended Young Life camps in tents on rented facilities. Much more space is needed as kids are clamoring for the opportunity to get away from the pressures they face. With the completion of the camp, we will be able to offer a camp experience to many more kids from all over Armenia and her neighboring countries! Won't you help us with this amazing project? We all need one another’s encouragement and love, and Expeditions is one of the best ways to build bridges in God’s family.
We will be arranging for Expeditions teams to go over this summer to support the renovation project and we want to work with your group to provide an amazing trip!
• Teams will serve at the camp property and in the local community. You can be assigned work projects such as clearing camp property to create activity fields, helping to remodel dorms or other camp buildings, or working with leaders on ministry projects.
• Experience the power of cross-cultural living with the Young Life national team and join in on a fun adventure day with leaders and kids.
• Individuals and teams are invited any time between June through October 2014, with costs approximate, based on the project and time you are able to serve. In- country lodging, transportation, meals and project costs for eight or nine days start at $750 (tax-deductible).
• Airfare varies – We can help by arranging your flights through our affiliated discounted missions travel agency. We supply fundraising support with online tools.
