This year is a turning point in Armenian history, as Armenians worldwide look to carve a brighter future for our nation. And the Armenian youth of the Eastern USA will go to Javakhk to do just that. This is a moment of exciting growth for this program as Camp Javakhk expands to the newly built ARS Armenian Youth Center of Ninotsminda and to the Dzalka region (in addition to existing summer camps in Akhalkalak and Akhaltskha) in order to reach as many Javakhktsi children as possible.
The Camp Javakhk Committee calls on diasporan youth in North America and abroad to dedicate their time to teach, play, and laugh with the kids of Javakhk, helping to keep the Armenian cultural heritage alive in the region.
