Camp Amaras

Learning and growing together

Welcome to Camp Amaras! AGBU Western Region's summer day camp for kids ages 4-12. We offer a fun and safe environment for children to learn new skills, get creative and make new friends, all while being exposed to Armenian culture and language. 

Summer Camp Awaits

The Summer Adventures Camp will be held July 7 - August 1, weekdays from 8:30am - 4pm. You can enroll your child in one week, a few, or all four weeks of fun. From exciting field trips, arts & crafts, sports, music, and dance, campers immerse in the joys of summer.

Check out the recap from last year's Summer Adventures Camp! We visited "Aquarium of the Pacific," and the local fire department, as well as inviting guest visitors like Guinness World Record holders and police officers. Campers splashed around at our mini onsite water park, and unleashed their artistic side with creative projects like painting handprints and crafting slime. Plus, they dove into Armenian culture, learning traditional songs and dance at AGBU LA Dance School.
