Village at Home

We bring camp to you!

In an effort to stay connected to our campers and introduce young people to the camp experience, we have established our Village at Home program. Village at Home typically occurs on a Saturday in a parish, at the invitation of their pastor, during which we run a modified day of camp. Host parishes are encouraged to extend invitations to neighboring churches with hope of exposing as many young people as possible to the Antiochian Village camping program. Former staff members join us for the day to assist with the program. The day somewhat mimics a day of camp. Below is a sample schedule of a Village at Home program (however, we do customize the schedule to meet the needs of the individual parish we are visiting).
