On June 26, the much-anticipated “Areguni” Summer Camp, part of the “Menq & Moonq” humanitarian program, officially began in Aghveran. For seven days, 120 teenagers — both local youth and those displaced from Artsakh, currently living in the Tavush, Gegharkunik, and Syunik regions — will participate in a dynamic and well-rounded program. The camp combines psychoeducational workshops, physical activities, creative games, and interactive group experiences, all designed to support their emotional and social development.
Many of the campers are already familiar with “Menq & Moonq” through previous initiatives of the program.
Participants have been divided into four color-coded groups, each with its own T-shirts and caps. Every group is led by a dedicated youth leader who guides them throughout the week.
Ani, a camper from the town of Berd in the Tavush region, shared her first impression:
“When I read the Areguni camp program, I immediately applied. Most camps are just a bunch of boring seminars that don’t make sense. But this one is truly made for kids—everything is well thought out and super engaging.”
Each day at the camp includes themed workshops, group sessions, and free time. The camp is designed to foster new friendships, promote cultural exchange, and support self-discovery, all within a safe and inclusive environment. Guided by experienced mentors and professionals, the campers will enjoy a meaningful and inspiring week—returning home with new skills, warm memories, and boosted confidence.
The Menq & Moonq program is financed by the German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO) in partnership with Sign of Hope (SoH). The project is implemented by the Development Principles NGO.
