Junior Seminar is important for many reasons. Foremost though, it provides Junior and Senior participants with educational, athletic and social activities that are geared towards creating a fraternal Armenian atmosphere for all members. The AYF provides Armenian youth with a wide variety of activities as a way to foster pride in their heritage and prepare them for future work in the Armenian Community. One of the best examples that encompasses all these aspects of our organization is the annual Junior Seminar. During the course of the weekend, the Juniors will be attending educationals with free time in between.
Juniors are under constant adult supervision during the weekend.
Two counselors are present during lectures, free time, meals and at night in the cabins. The AYF has been utilizing the same camp for almost a decade. In addition to its fine facilities, the camp is centrally located. Each cabin consists of twelve Juniors from one age group. With them are two assigned counselors for the cabin.
