AGBU Camp Nubar Welcomes New Director
The AGBU Camp Nubar Committee is pleased to announce the appointment
of John Ohanian as the new Camp Director of the top-rated Andes, NY,
camp facility. A former camper, counselor and waterfront director,
John is a non-profit consultant who returns to camp with his wife
Andrea, his daughter Samantha, age 11 and his son Micah, age 8.
While we anticipate John's arrival, the entire Camp Nubar community
would also like to pay tribute to longtime Camp Director Maggie
Derderian Casacelli who spent nine dedicated years with Camp Nubar. We
all wish Maggie well in all of her future endeavors.
The new Camp Director's roots in Camp Nubar run deep. He was a
counselor and waterfront staff member during the late 1980s and then
served as Waterfront Director in 1990 and 1991. During the 1991 season
John's soon to be wife (then) Andrea Meymarian served as Girl's Head
Counselor. It is also noteworthy that John's grandmother, Alice
Dadourian, was a onetime member of the Central Board of AGBU.
"My years as a camper, a counselor and the Waterfront Director at Camp
Nubar are among the most memorable of my life," John told us and "I
look forward to being a big part of Camp's future."
John is joined by a dedicated and experienced head staff this summer
including: Jen Omartian - Assistant Director, Dan Antreasyan - Boys'
Head Counselor, Talar Camcikyan - Girls' Head Counselor, Lena Kizirian
- Office Manager. Each member of the head staff has deep and
meaningful ties to the Armenian community and to Camp Nubar.
Registration for Camp Nubar's summer 2007 season is now open and this
year's sessions run from July 7 - August 18. Campers can choose
between a trial-, two-, four- or six-week session. Applications are
available online and parents are encouraged to register their children
early in order to ensure placement in what promises to be an exciting
43rd summer season at Camp Nubar.
First Session: July 7-21, Trial Session: July 21-29, Second Session:
July 21-August 4, Third Session: August 4-18, Four-week Session: July
21-August 18, Six-week Session: July 7-August 18.
