Initially, the camp was conceived as a center for cultural, social and spiritual activities, to serve the Lebanese Christian Community in general and the Armenian Evangelical Community in particular. It was intended as a conference center for children, juniors and young people, where they could spend a week or two out of the city hearing and studying God’s word amidst His great creation. The first youth conference in KCHAG Center was in 1949, and it was carried out under tents.
