About Camp Arevelk
Camp Arevelk is the camping ministry of the Armenian Evangelical Union of North America. Since 2000, Camp Arevelk has been ministering to our youth with an activity oriented week focused on learning more about God and enjoying His creation.
Camp Arevelk is a ministry focused on guiding youth to have a personal relationship with Christ through daily devotions, Bible study, and prayer. Quiet times, times of praise, listening to God's Word, discussion groups, sports, Armenian heritage, and much more combine to make this week a memorable one for all of our youth, their families, and the staff!
The camp is planned and organized by volunteers throughout the Eastern region who commit their time and talents to serving on the Camp Arevelk committee. If you have any feedback or suggestions about camp, you can contact the committee by emailing us at CampArevelk@gmail.com.
