AGBU PLOVDIV ORGANIZES THE GREEN SCHOOL SUMMER CAMP FOR A SECOND
CONSECUTIVE YEAR
From June 19 to 25, 2006, at the Balkan complex in Zdravetz
campground, a picturesque mountainous region near Plovdiv, Bulgaria,
the local AGBU Chapter hosted 26 Armenian youth at the Green School
Summer Camp. Designed for Armenian youth 5 to 12 years of age, the
Green School focuses on various activities aimed at teaching the
Armenian language, while familiarizing the youth with Armenian
Christian traditions.
This year’s enrollment in Green School has grown in response to its
popularity last year. As a result, the camp was able to open
admissions to children from AGBU Plovdiv’s six associated
chapters-Dobrich, Haskovo, Rouse, Silistra, Sliven, and Yambol.
The Green School is a well-equipped facility with all the necessities
for campers to enjoy their stay and learn about their heritage,
including educational activities, language courses, sports and games,
discussions, film and cartoon screenings, music, dancing, and various
indoor and outdoor activities. All camp activities are carried out in
the Armenian language, allowing the children to be fully immersed in
an Armenian environment.
AGBU Plovdiv is dedicated to preserving and promoting the Armenian
heritage and identity through humanitarian, educational and cultural
programs. For more information on AGBU Plovdiv, please email
