This summer AGBU Camp Nubar will be welcoming two new instructors from Armenia for approximately three weeks of classes in traditional Armenian dance, arts, crafts, and pottery.

From July 16 to August 6, ballet master Arman Julhakyan and art instructor Ella Pepanyan, both of the AGBU Children's Centers in Armenia, will conduct classes for the hundreds of youth that attend the camp each summer. Julhakyan and Pepanyan will be adding a new dimension to the experience of Nubar campers, who already enjoy the highest quality of activities at any Armenian summer camp.

According to The Armenian Reporter, in addition to their work in Michigan, the visiting instructors have established reputations at the AGBU Children's Centers in Yerevan, which provide after-school and summer instruction in art, computer, crafts, dance, gymnastics, history, language and music programs to 4,000 children, ages five to twenty-one.

One of the special treats for camp attendees will be firsthand experience in Armenian crafts, such as batik textile design and pottery.

Last year, Camp Nubar welcomed 235 campers from six countries, who took part in classic Camp Nubar activities, such as horseback riding, arts & crafts, tubing, tennis, archery, as well as newer additions like creative writing, digital media and technology, and vocal class. This year's addition of Armenian dance and crafts from first-rate Armenian instructors is sure to make the experience even more unforgettable.
