Summer Camp in Urtsadzor 🗻

Join us in Urtsadzor, Armenia to experience the beauty of nature, contribute to conservation efforts, learn more about the environment, and immerse yourself in local culture through our summer camp.

Bear Rescue Volunteering 🐻

You’ll get to meet our bears, organize enrichment activities for them, learn more about their behavior, and participate in caring for them. And best of all, you may even get to take part in a bear rescue operation!

Tree Nursery Volunteering 🌳

Lend a hand in returning beautiful native trees to land by restoring the forest. You’ll care for seeds, water nursery plants, monitor them, and finally, when it’s time, you’ll plant and see them grow.

Research Volunteering 🔍

Knowledge is power, and learning about our roots and our homeland is even more powerful. Get to know Armenia’s nature and give it the attention and patience it deserves. 

There's time to work...

Whether you’re feeding the bears, planting trees, or conducting research, the responsibilities at our center will be an important and pleasant part of your routine.

...And time to rest.

In your free time, you can hang out with new friends, be among nature, go hiking or horseback riding, photograph butterflies and other wildlife, organize a picnic, or just enjoy a book.

"My favorite moment when volunteering was definitely taking part in a bear rescue in the north of Armenia. I saw how bad the situation the bear in was and realized how important this work really is. We are their only hope for a good life. It gave me motivation to work on days when even getting out of bed was difficult."
