Our family programs (conducted in Russian) offer a refreshing break from everyday routines—a chance for children and parents to connect, create, and grow together through play, imagination, and shared discovery.
In play, children learn independence, develop focus, imagination, and the courage to be themselves. In creating together, parents and children gain a deeper understanding of one another—opening space for connection and joy.
Each program brings together two contrasting themes, inspiring families to look at the familiar from new angles and bring creative ideas to life. Daily activities include workshops led by guest experts, nature walks, creative quests, sports, and evening events.
Arrival- July 18
Departure- July 26
Imagination has no limits — it brings together talking animals, enchanted forests, and distant constellations. Fairytales help us dream bigger, imagine faraway worlds, and believe we can reach the stars — even with just a spark of creativity.
In this session, families will become the creators of their own fairytale universe. Together we will: invent new characters and magical worlds; build costumes, sets, and props; explore theatre games, movement, voice, and storytelling.
Step by step, imagination becomes action, and action becomes performance. Everyone will get a chance to take part in every creative role — from actor to director to designer — discovering what brings them joy.
In the final days of the session, our co-created fantasy world will come alive in a performance under a sky full of stars — one we build together.
This session is a gentle launchpad — from a tiny story toward a big, warm, magical future of your own.

For over a century, since the advent of cinema, many films have been made, and a great variety of stories have been filmed. And since its birth, cinema has gone hand in hand with music. The emotional sound background of silent films was created by the pianist's playing that accompanied the demonstration of the film. By the way, many professional musicians and composers were pianists. With the advent of sound in cinema, new and more complex creative tasks arose: the music sounding in the film had to deepen its semantic and emotional content. It is no coincidence that behind every movie masterpiece there is always a brilliant soundtrack. Probably everyone wants to see the other side of filmmaking - to visit the set, see how the director, actors, and cameramen operate, how the composer creates music for the film, work in the recording studio and editing, and eventually admire the fruits of their work on the big screen. This year we will open our film studio in Dilijan. We will create films and soundtracks. We will learn about film genres, get acquainted with the basics of filmmaking, and dive deeply into the world of music. We will study various musical instruments and their psychoacoustic impact on the viewer, both based on our perception and the experience of professionals. We will learn how to tell a story not only through visuals but also through sound and music. Each composer is a co-creator of a film because cinema, as a syncretic genre of art, carries the unity of image and sound.
Participants can expect a virtual journey through the architectural landmarks of Europe and immersion in the world of Hollywood. Participants will become familiar with the traditions and features of European architecture and American cinema. The culmination of the program will be the premiere of a film created by the children themselves—from writing the script to editing and dubbing.
While traveling through European and American culture, participants will discover their connection with the culture of Armenia. This creative exploration will make the program even more captivating.
Parents will have plenty to do while their children are busy with film shooting. A club for film and architecture enthusiasts will be created for them. In this club, they will get to know outstanding architects and film directors and discuss their masterpieces.
If you want to fill your summer days with inspiration, creativity, exploration, and play, then join our architectural and cinematic journey with your children!
