It's about that time. Summer is behind us. Fall is fading fast and Winter is just around the corner. That means it is time to register for Winter Camp. We have put together a short video to give you a taste of what Winter Camp is all about. Winter Camp is for teens in grades 7 - 12. It is offered on Martin Luther King Jr. weekend (January 16-19, 2009) and on Presidents' Day Weekend (February 13-16, 2009). For more information, visit our Winter Camp webpage or watch the Winter Camp video. To register as a camper or apply to be on our Winter Camp staff click on the links below:
Winter Camp Speaker - Fr. Moses Berry
We are very pleased to announce that our speaker for both sessions of Winter Camp is Fr. Moses Berry, pastor of Theotokos "Unexpected Joy" Orthodox Mission in Ash Grove Missouri and the founder and curator of The Ozarks Afro-American Heritage Museum. There is presently a full-length documentary in development entitled God's Garden that is "a journey of fatih, race and redemption as seen through the eyes of Fr. Moses Berry. It chronicles his incredible life as a direct descendant of frontier legend, Daniel Boone, through idyllic beginnings as a child in the Ozarks, a dramatic awakening and miraculous release from jail, and to a surprising discovery in his African-American roots."

With the 2008 Summer camping season still fresh in our minds, we are turning our attention to this fall and beyond.

So, by popular request we are pleased to announce the dates for the 2009 camping seasons (Winter Camp, Family Camp, Summer Camp, Sacred Arts Camps, etc). Click here to view the 2009 Camp Dates!
We have brought in an entirely new line of Antiochian Village clothing for the 2008 season. Visit our Camp Bookstore page and our AV Gear page that features a sampling of our new products. Please note that we are adding new items daily so visit the website every couple of days for additional merchandise. These items may be purchased in our Camp Bookstore or by calling our office at (724) 238-9565. If your child is coming to camp this summer, they may bring money for purchasing items in the Camp Bookstore. We will deposit their money in an account and will refund any unused funds at the end of the camping session.
We would like to thank the hundreds of campers, volunteer staff and summer staff that made this summer a memorable one at the Antiochian Village. We welcome you to mark your calendars for the 2009 summer camping season. Online registration will begin in December. If you can't wait until next summer to come back to camp, consider joining us for Winter Camp. More information will be forthcoming.
