The Reach of Camp Haiastan

Many know Camp Haiastan as “the greatest place on earth.” It has given Armenian youth in the diaspora a wholesome camping experience for over 70 years. Each year, our youth are immersed in a community where they not only play, swim, dance and sing, but they also learn about who we are as a people.

Camp is a place where you meet Armenians from everywhere, forging friendships that last a lifetime. Whether you stay at camp for two weeks one summer or return each year, and maybe even go on to become a staff member, you belong to a special fraternity. As you go through life, by accident or on purpose, you will run into the camp friends you have made. Each meeting will fill your heart with true joy as you reminisce about the time you spent together in Franklin, Massachusetts. Campers make countless memories and gain important life lessons that will broaden their childhood development. These gifts will be part of who you become in later years.
