Week 2 is closed to campers. Hurry and sign-up for Camp 2010 while there is still time!

Week 2 is sold out for campers! Each week of Camp has a limited capacity and every year one or two weeks fill up before the others. This is why we encourage campers to apply as soon as possible to secure a spot in their first week of choice. If you were hoping to attend Week 2 with cousins or friends that have already been accepted into Week 2, we can accommodate you by having all campers move into another open week of Camp. Otherwise, we do have a waitlist available for Week 2 that will be open for a very limited period of time and there is no guarantee any spots will become available. 

Waitlist procedure: Invariably we have a handful of campers who's summer plans change between when they sign up for Camp and Camp itself. When these campers drop out, or switch weeks of Camp, it may open up a spot for a camper on the waitlist for that particular week. The odds of getting placed into your first week of choice from the waitlist are infinitesimally small compared to your guaranteed placement when signing up for a different week that is still open. However, if you would like to place your child on the waitlist, the process is identical to our regular registration except you will not be able to submit payment. If a spot becomes available, we will notify you (in the order you were placed on the waitlist) and make arrangements for payment.

Remember campers, placement is first come first serve, however your application is not finalized until your payment is received. Your best opportunity to have your application accepted at the time of submission is to pay by eCheck or credit card.

With that said, the Summer Camp Committee is happy to report that the directors for the 2010 Summer Camp Program have been finalized and we are proud to announce this year's directors are:

Week 1: Silva Zeneian
Week 2: Johnny Yaldezian
Week 3: Regina Pryor
Week 4: Jeff Stepanian

We thank all of our directors for their service to the Summer Camp Program and we can't wait for Summer Camp 2010 to begin, so if you have an interest in volunteering for Summer Camp 2010, please apply now! If you have any little brothers, sisters, children, cousins, niece's, or friends interested in attending Camp as campers remind them to sign-up ASAP!

Family Day - April 17, 2010 - A great way to see our camp!

We welcome you all to attend Family Day next month. Family Day is free of charge
and open to everyone, from those that have never attended our Camp before, to
those who miss camp and can’t wait until the summer to return. On Family Day, we
will have a full day planned including lunch, a tour of the property, arts and crafts,
sports activities, and even a campfire!

If you wish to attend, you MUST register by Sunday, April 11, 2010 at:  http://www.hyecamp.com/family-day

Parents, we know it can be difficult to send your child away for a week of camp in an
unfamiliar place, which is why this is the perfect opportunity to see the facility
(cabins, bathrooms, kitchen, lake, etc.) and become more comfortable with our
program. We promise, after Family Day at Camp, everyone will leave excited to
return!

For those of you who have already attended camp...come on up! Since the day is
geared toward NEW families, we ask that you be available to share your experiences
and be part of the Family Day program as well as hang out and enjoy camp in the
springtime!

So mark your calendars for April 17, 2010! It will be a day of fun at the Camp
property and a great opportunity for NEW campers and families to see our Camp and
learn about us, so please join us and spread the word!

Welcome to the New Camp Website!

original hyecamp.com website2010 is proving to be a year of many advancements for the Armenian Church Summer camp. In 2009, for the first time we began accepting applications online. The process was a huge success, and so in 2010, we decided that our website needed an update.

Our new site has a lot of cool new features including a blog (which you are reading), a photo and video gallery, as well as much more detailed information about our camp, the program, the facilities, and ways you can contribute to camp. For those of you interested in the technical details, we are using a great hosted service by a company called Squarespace. Squarepace has a lot of very cool features which will help us to provide you with a more engaging website.

You may see some sections that are not quite complete, and so we ask you to please bare with us as we continue to develop the parts of this site. In the meantime, we'd love to hear what you think about the new site. Let us know if there is something you like, or if there is anything else you'd like to see by leaving us a comment below.
