ARMENIA
WHY:
The experience that awaits you is more than rewarding and the hospitality and friendship of our staff will leave you feeling like you are a member of the family.
WHERE:
We’ve got plenty of opportunities for you to serve at our brand new Young Life Pioneer camp. The camp is located two hours away from Yerevan in the beautiful Bombak Mountains.
ABOUT
Each year thousands of Armenian kids, from street kids and orphans to those with special needs, go to camp to experience the best week of their lives. They come to Pioneer Camp, the only Young Life owned camp facility in the entire region of the Former Soviet Union, where they get to hear the good news of Jesus.
We need your servant’s hearts, helping hands and willingness to serve them. But that’s not all! Armenia is a stunning country, and on you trip you will also get to see historical ruins and monasteries in the majestic Bombak Mountains.

“The best part about serving on an Expeditions trip is that you get to use your giftings. You won’t be doing anything you don’t feel comfortable with, and at the end, you will be blessed just as much as those whom you serve!“
