Summer Camp at AV
The Antiochian Village Summer Camp Program serves young people ages 9-17 who come to attend one of four two-week sessions. One of the main goals of the Village Camp program is to present to young people a living experience of the Holy Orthodox Faith in their relationship with God and other campers in an uncluttered, natural environment.
The Village provides an experience, which has been very instrumental in the spiritual maturation of many young people. The major components which contribute to that experience include the following:
- daily Orthodox worship with an emphasis on participation;
- a challenge toward spiritual growth through daily homilies, religious education, and relationships with counselors and fellow Orthodox campers;
- a safe and naturally beautiful setting for group living; and
- a caring and loving staff fully dedicated to the campers well-being and growth.

How to Register for Summer Camp
Fees & Financial Assistance
Fees
2026 CIT Tuition
$600
Balance of all payments is due by April 30th, or the camper’s spot may be offered to those on the waitlist for that particular session. Special payment arrangements can be made by emailing office@avcamp.org and are subject to approval by the Camp Director, but such requests must be received prior to the April 30 deadline. All balances will be billed to the camper’s parents, regardless of any parish subsidies, so parents are encouraged to ensure that all parish subsidies are paid before the April 30 deadline to avoid losing their camper’s spot in the session. A $50 fee will also be charged upon registration. It will be refunded directly if all medical information, including the physician exam form, is submitted before April 30th.
Financial Assistance
We understand that not all families are able to afford the cost of camp. The Antiochian Village Camp is committed to ensure a young person is not denied the opportunity to attend camp due to financial concerns. Three efforts are used to assist camper families in financial need. Assistance is often provided through the Camp’s resources and financial assistance fundraising, the Order of St. Ignatius of Antioch Financial Assistance, and parish tuition assistance as well as some parishes subsidizing transportation to and from camp (check with your parish priest about parish assistance).
Each parish in the Antiochian Archdiocese receives $1000 in financial assistance funds from the Order of St. Ignatius of Antioch. Your parish priest determines the disbursement of these funds and can be consulted for all details. Parish priests must complete this form online from the Archdiocese Camp Ministry no later than March 31st or these funds will be disbursed to other campers who request additional Financial Assistance. Additional funds are also available from the Antiochian Village for families needing financial assistance. To request financial assistance, please fill out the online “Financial Assistance Request Form”, no later than February 28th. This form is located in the UltraCamp Document Center. Financial assistance requests open once camp registration opens, in January. Notification of awards will be sent sometime in April. All financial assistance requests are confidential, and awards are only given on the basis of financial need.
