Missions and Values
As the first Armenian summer camp established in the United States, AYF Camp Haiastan is a safe, engaging space for Armenian youth to learn about their culture, create lifelong friendships, exercise independence, and enjoy a variety of outdoor activities.
Camp Haiastan was created as a one-of-a-kind opportunity for campers to strengthen their Armenian identity while building lifelong friendships and creating cherished memories.
Serving as a safe, positive environment for overnight and day camp experiences, Camp Haiastan provides a memorable opportunity to engage with a global mix of Armenian youth and grow awareness of Armenian traditions in a customary summer camp format.
Camp Haiastan caters to children of all ages and plays a pivotal role in establishing Armenian identity, solidifying it as the “greatest place on earth.”
