About the provider

The Hye Camp Program began in 1964 with 32 participants. In 1968, the Executive Camp Committee restructured Armenian Summer Camp, and the property was dedicated in 2013 as Archbishop Vatche Hovsepian Camp. The Diocese Summer Camp program was created to nurture the bodies, minds, and spirits of Armenian youth in a natural setting, providing a stimulating and fun environment of community that inspires individual growth and the values of Christian Fellowship.
