    Camp Nubar's 2006 Summer Session A Huge Success

    On August 14, 2006, AGBU Camp Nubar wrapped up its 42nd summer
    season with 235 enthusiastic campers and 75 devoted counselors and
    administrators. AGBU's largest camp continues to lead the way in
    providing high quality facilities and an extensive list of activities
    for youth from around the world.

    Ranked by the American Camp Association (ACA), the American Red Cross
    and the American Academy of Pediatrics as a first-rate modern facility,
    Camp Nubar is unique among Armenian camps.

    Campers participated in a vast array of activities such as
    horseback riding, ceramics, tennis, archery, swimming, basketball
    and sailing. Alumni and guest instructors were invited to teach
    in specialized areas of interest such as water-skiing, wilderness
    survival and Armenian language and cooking.

    To keep pace with the growing demand for modern and spacious
    accommodations, Camp Nubar has undergone drastic renovation and
    expansion efforts in the last several years. This year alone,
    construction was completed on another Girl's Camper Cabin, a
    new Girl's Counselor Cabin, a major expansion to the Director's
    Cabin/Administration Building, the renovation of a former Camper
    Cabin into a Counselor Lounge, and the addition of an Alumni House
    for visiting staff members.

    Some highlights of the 2006 camp sessions included an Open House for
    family and friends, a carnival, a banquet, and the traditional 3-day
    event called "Color Wars" for campers. These highlights and the rest
    of Camp Nubar's activities help Armenian youth create valuable and
    long-lasting relationships and memories.

    Accredited by ACA (www.aca-ny.org), AGBU Camp Nubar was founded in
    1963 and continues to be a summer haven for Armenian youth from all
    around the world. For more information on Camp Nubar, please call (212)
