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. 

A Summer to Remember

Summer Adventures Camp 2025 delivered four unforgettable weeks of excitement, learning, and connection! Campers embarked on engaging field trips, including a hands-on visit to the Kidspace Museum and a memorable stop at the Pasadena Fire Department. Back at camp, the fun continued with our beloved Splash Zone, creative arts & crafts, and up-close encounters with exotic animals during an interactive presentation by Reptacular Animals. 

Each day offered opportunities for campers to explore and express themselves—whether through lively Armenian dance lessons at the AGBU LA Dance School, music sessions featuring traditional songs, or meaningful activities celebrating Armenian heritage and world cultures. From start to finish, the camp was a vibrant blend of discovery, creativity, and community.
