Drawing
Campers loved drawing. The proofs of it are their daily drawings with pencils and watercolor or pictures made of colored papers which later were posted together with the group posters. One would find it amusing to see a camper sitting under a tree and drawing without noticing his surroundings. Some campers liked to draw the same thing in a group and then compare the drawings. Drawings showed how sensitive the campers are.
One day they saw ? helicopter with a gold searcher and almost everyone drew a helicopter in the mountains. Of course, all of them were unique and impressing.
On a church holiday the local priest Holy Father Galoust Darbinyan visited the campers, and blessed the grapes which were brought in for the holiday. By evening time all the campers had drawings of grapes and the Armenian Church. We may surely say that one will find the reflection of the camp activities in the drawings of our campers. Campers cherish the memories and we treasure the drawings forever!
DANCE COMPETITION

Drawings with chalk
One of the colorful activities was held after the morning reports. The campers were given exclusive opportunity to cover the base area with colorful chalk drawings. Group works and personal drawings were described orally and it turned out that most campers had drawn the camp, and the surrounding mountains. There were pictures of the globe and children holding hands, as well as churches: all of them beautiful and creative.
