Ionian Village Summer 2023 Program Dates
NEW YORK – The Office of Ionian Village is excited to announce the dates for the Summer 2023 programs. Registration for all programs opens on Saturday, January 21, 2023.
Ionian Village is the international camping ministry of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America with campgrounds located in Peloponnesus, Greece. The mission of Ionian Village is to enrich the lives of its participants by bringing campers and staff into close contact with their Orthodox faith and Hellenic heritage by providing the opportunity for young people of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America to foster a life-long appreciation and love of Greece, Orthodoxy, and Hellenism.
IV Next
Dozens of colleges and universities offer study abroad programs in Greece, and many programs of our own diaspora offer similar opportunities for young adults to travel to Greece and see the sights. However, IV Next is the only travel-based program for young adults that has our Greek Orthodox faith as a core tenet of the program. Only IV Next combines professional development, international travel, and the Orthodox Faith into one all-inclusive program. The IV Next 2023 registration cost is subsidized by a generous grant from Leadership 100. Registration costs will be announced at a later date.
· IV Next is for participants ages 19-24 and will run from June 2-13, 2023
Summer Camp
The picturesque Ionian Village campgrounds sit along the shores of the pristine Ionian Sea and are equipped with a private beach, a renovated Olympic-sized pool, and various athletic courts and fields. Campers actively explore their Orthodox faith and heritage, both through the daily at-camp program and through excursions to culturally and religiously significant sites throughout Greece. Excursions include Ancient Olympia, Patras, Zakynthos, Kefalonia, Kalavrita, Aegina, and Athens. Each 20-day session is open to young people who will have completed grades 9 through 12. Registration costs will be announced at a later date.
· Session One: June 19 – July 8, 2023
· Session Two: July 19 – August 7, 2023
