Ongoing Projects

The Gathering Place

Restoration work has begun on the Gathering Place, one of our oldest and most memorable buildings. (Don't worry - the look is staying the same) Our hope is to preserve the style and structure of the building so it can be enjoyed by campers, staff, and alumni for years to come. The renovation will include an alumni room and a sensory room. Stay tuned for more updates!

RELIVE AV MEMORIES!

Hey AV Alumni! Do you love flipping through our photo albums when you come to visit? Well our Director of Communications Constantine Kallaur has spent the last year scanning all of our photos from our photo collection going all the way back to 1981! In an effort to preserve the history of The Antiochian Village, we are in the process of digitizing as much content as we have. Our intern Nick Dujmovic has collected camp videos going all the way back to the 1990s as well.

Check out our SmugMug photo-site and our Vimeo page below to re-live the AV memories!
