AV CAMP

July 2025

Guest speaker: Charles Ajalat

Charles has been active in growing Orthodoxy in North America in so many ways, as he helped start well-known ministries such as IOCC, OCMC, and FOCUS-North America. We are excited for him to be with us and share his wisdom of how to serve in the Orthodox Church here in America!

Due to popular demand, AV is hosting our first ever Homecoming Weekend August 1-3! Registration is OPEN NOW and will close on July 25th.

AV Camp has played a crucial part in many lives throughout the years. So many of us have been shaped into better Christians from being a Villager and that is no different this year!

We share these testimonials from current campers and staff on what camp means to us as a reminder that here at The Village, we are part of something bigger.

Isabell (Cabin 24 Camper) - "Camp really makes me feel at home because I can spend time with my friends and worship God while I'm here at the same time. I really like this place it means a lot to me"

Paul (Cabin 46 Camper) - "Camp means having fun, loving others, enjoying church, and it's really a great community where you want to involve yourself. Especially since this is my first year it's the best year because I'm a hike cabin and so far I love it."

Lena Fahey (Photographer) - "To me, camp is a place for spiritual growth and fellowship. It means a lot to me because it's the place that I met some of my best friends."

Dominic Youssef (Counselor) - "Camp is a place where I feel closest to God's presence. I feel like I can be myself at camp and I've made some of my closest friends who have the best impact on my life through shared faith."

Hey AV Alumni! Do you love flipping through our photo albums when you come to visit? Well our previous Director of Communications Constantine Kallaur has scanned 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 Director of Operations, 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!
