Camp Olympics, the oldest running tournament at AYF Camp Haiastan, mirrored after the AYF Annual Games, is Olympics! Campers are divided into teams and for three full days, nearly every activity and skill from Armenian culture to canoeing to archery to volleyball is recreated into a competitive contest culminating with the teams parading in review before judges behind their own uniquely decorated hand-made team flags until a victor emerges
We offer nature classes where campers have the opportunity to walk around our 100-acre grounds to learn about sights, sounds, and life that compose our surroundings.
The much anticipated day of Peanut Carnival is really an atmosphere like no other. Each cabin comes up with an activity booth of their choice, where campers are able to mingle and visit each booth and participate in all activities. Don’t worry, we adhere to our no peanut policy and have kept the name for the sake of tradition.
Vartavar, the traditional Armenian festival, where people drench each other in water is observed during every session. Campers learn about the festival while participating in a variety of water activities during every sesion.
