My Experience at AYF Camp Haiastan

If you are Armenian, whether in the Armenian Youth Federation (AYF) or not, you should work at Camp Haiastan. AYF Camp Haiastan is a two-week sleepaway summer camp in Franklin, Massachusetts where children participate in athletic, educational and cultural activities to help bring them closer to their Armenian heritage. It’s where I spent two months of my summer and built so many memories that I’ll cherish for years to come. I learned how to work as a team, and I felt like I was an important part in making a child’s summer fun.
