October 2023

Despite getting rain all day Saturday and Sunday, we had 73 staff, alumni, campers, & volunteers come help make gyros and raise over $19,000 for the Village! Our staff was energetic, singing and shouting, and were a positive Christlike presence for our community. Thank you to all those who came to help!

Hey AV Alumni! Do you love flipping through our photo albums when you come to visit? Well our intern 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. God willing, we'll have every session video going back to the 1990's online in the near future as well.

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