Camp Arevelk 2020 goes virtual! (July 21, 2020)

​

We hope you are all safe and well, finding ways to enjoy the summer months. We all know Camp will look and feel different this year, but we are thankful that God will bless our campers and counsellors during this time. We are excited to share our plans for our virtual camp ministry.

We are thrilled that Rev. Jonelle will join us each night to share her message with the campers.  For those who don't know Rev. Kazarian, she is a dearly loved child of God and follower of Jesus whose desire is to walk, live, and love in the Spirit of Almighty God.  From a young age she experienced God’s presence and calling on her life.  At 14 she wanted to be a missionary and tell people about Jesus.  While college provided education and challenge, Jonelle constantly wanted to grow.  This passion led her to 4 colleges and universities, culminating in a Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary and a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fuller Theological Seminary.

​

Jonelle is an ordained Minister of the Word and Sacrament and spent 6 years in two local churches as an Associate Pastor; preaching, teaching, counselling, speaking, and mentoring.  Currently she carries on the same job description in a much more fluid way as she also is a book-keeping wife, a homeschooling mother, and a sharer of health with her Juice Plus+ business.  Jonelle grew up in Fresno and currently resides on 40 acres of grapevines in Fowler, California, where she dwells with her husband Kalem of two decades, three tenacious teens, 17 chickens, 1 ducks, and 1 dog.  Jonelle loves creating in her study, in her kitchen, and in her shop.

 

We hope your children will join us for Worship, Games, Devotions, Fun and Fellowship!  Stay tuned for more details, pre-camp challenges and zoom link!  You can also follow our Instagram account @camp_arevelk or Facebook group <Camp Arevelk> for updates.

COVID Update (June 1, 2020)

​

Welcome to 2020!  Who would have predicted that we would be social distancing and be in isolation?  Despite this unfamiliar way of life, we know that our Lord is still Lord no matter what is going on around us.   “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”  Jer. 29:11. We put our trust in Him.

 

We are sad to announce that Camp Arevelk 2020 will not run based on the decision made by the NY Board of Health, which has announced that there will be no in-person camping programs in the state of NY this summer.  Even though traditional camp is not possible, we will not let this situation stop our community from sharing in Christian fellowship, building friendships, worshiping and praising God.  The camp committee has been meeting and prayerfully discussing what Camp 2020 will look like.  In the coming weeks, you will receive a survey that will help us determine how to best meet the needs of our campers.  We value your input and your responses will help us prepare for a new vision for ministry this summer.  Stay tuned for the survey and more details!
