Meet our Camp Arevelk Staff
We are looking forward to another great year at Camp Arevelk. We have the greatest number of staff members we have ever had to take care of the record number of campers (ages 10-16) for our 14th year of Camp. Sylvia Jizmejian has been the Camp Arevelk Director since 2000 when Camp began and she will be back this year.

Nurse
Hello Arevelk Djambar(camp),
My name is ARPI there is no E at the end.
Medications should be brought in their original perscribed bottles not in a pill organizer type box. I need to be able to read the directions as well. I would prefer that we know all their allergies to medication food etc.
I will need parents to consent to give Tylenol or Motrin for minor discomforts.
I will have herbal tea and honey and lots of sympathy for the campers and the counselors alike.
Arpi without E
