The camp is situated not far from the center of Yerevan, next to the artificial Lake Yerevan. The territory of the Rehabilitation Center was former Governmental rest house. The camp will be opened for the 15th time and has become a popular and traditional one. Most of the children are having treatment here every year and are looking forward to meeting the volunteers in summer.

Work

The aim of this camp is to organize the leisure time of children with motor-system infringement and cardio-vascular system diseases and to do some environmental work on the territory. Volunteers’ day will begin from ecological work: maintaining the territory, cleaning children’s playground from weeds and grass, painting. After the children finish their therapy, volunteers gather together with children to draw, sculpture, sing and dance, do physical training, play games. At the end of the camp volunteers and children will organize a farewell party. Volunteers will bring along a lot of ideas, spirit, love, warmth, kindness and make the stay of these children in this Center a great holiday. They make these children feel that they are needed, full-valued and help them to open their talents and abilities. There must be a strict discipline in the camp. The workcamp is organized together with OSCE office in Yerevan. (Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe)
