Village at Home

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.  In short, we visit a parish, at the invitation of their pastor, and run a modified day of camp at the parish.  We ask the host parish to extend invitations to neighboring churches with hope of exposing as many young people to the Antiochian Village camping program.  We recruit former staff members to 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.
