Each day began and ended with a joint prayer in the camp chapel. St. Vartan Camp hosted 192 campers from 26 parishes, including several youth from the Western Diocese and the Preparatory School. They were supported by a team of 43 leaders with 34 youth assistants. The campers were also visited by clergy and volunteers who gave talks and shared their spiritual experiences and knowledge with the youth. 120 campers from 13 parishes participated in the Armenian Camp.
