Give your child a summer filled with faith, friendship, and unforgettable memories.

Join generations of families who call St. Vartan Camp a home away from home.

Spots are limited, and sessions fill quickly each summer.

St. Vartan Camp is more than a summer program — it’s a place where Armenian youth build confidence, strengthen their faith, form lifelong friendships, and create memories that stay with them long after summer ends.

  • Faith-centered, values-driven programming
  • Lifelong friendships and a true sense of belonging
  • Engaging activities, traditions, and leadership development
  • A safe, supportive environment led by dedicated clergy and staff

Scholarships

We believe that ALL Armenian youth should have the opportunity to attend camp during the summer months.

If you are in need of financial assistance, please check with your Pastor and/or Youth Director to inquire about Parish Camperships or Scholarships. These could be special promotional codes that can be used when processing the payment portion of your registration, or they may be handled only at the parish level. Please note that there are generally more available funds at the parishes level vs. the Diocesan level, so please contact your parish first.

There are also a limited number of Diocesan Camp Scholarships available through the generosity of various donors and foundations. These offer partial camp tuition assistance to prospective campers and CITs for those in financial need. Please fill out the form linked above to apply for a summer camp scholarship. Funds are limited, so families are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. Decisions will be made based on need and funds availability.

IMPORTANT: If you are applying for a Diocesan Camp Scholarship, you should still register for camp, but please select “Pay By Paper Check” as your payment method. If a Scholarship is granted, we will make the adjustment in our Camp Management System, and you will then be able to pay the balance via credit card, eCheck, and/or paper check. Please note that if a Scholarship is not granted, you may un-enroll and there will NOT be a cancellation fee.

All scholarship requests must be submitted by MAY 1 to be considered. Please contact StVartanCamp@armeniandiocese.org with any questions.
