Western Diocese

The Diocese congratulates the Diocesan Camp Program on not just the successful completion of its 2010 program, but also on the release its wildly popular YouTube video, entitled "'Hey, Soul Sister' @ Hye Camp Week 4 (2010)". This video features every camper, staff member, and clergyman who attended the fourth week of Summer Camp.

His Eminence Abp. Hovnan Derderian, upon watching the video was quoted as saying that such projects, "are important in the life of the youth, as they convey the joy of the camp experience."

The Camp Program website, has the following to say about this video.

What happens when over 180 people assemble for Hye Camp? A music video, of course! Filmed at the beautiful facility of the Armenian Church Summer Camp of the Western Diocese in California's San Joaquin Valley on August 12th, 2010, check out this year's video from the same team that brought you "Dr. Emmett & Mr. Belvedere" featuring each and every single person attending camp, everyone from the volunteer staff to the campers.

(special thanks to the Lip Dub team's "Hey, Soul Sister" filmed at Universitat De Vic!)
