NEW YORK ? Ionian Village, the unique summer camping program located
in Greece and operated by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America,
is currently accepting registrations for Summer Camp 2010. Teens who
have completed grades 7-12 may attend either Summer Travel Camp (STC)
July 1-20, 2010 or Byzantine Venture (BV) July 25-August 13, 2010.

?As Ionian Village celebrates its 40th Anniversary, I look forward to
offering our Orthodox youth a life-changing and inspiring summer as we
grow together in faith and friendship.? says Fr. Jason Roll, Director
of Ionian Village.  ?Another outstanding staff is currently being
assembled and because this will be our 40th Anniversary, a few new and
exciting additions will enhance the already solid camp program.?

Participants are encouraged to take advantage of early registration
and receive $100 off the registration fee by enrolling online before

Teens and young adults who participate in Ionian Village travel across
Greece venerate the relics of saints, walk in the footsteps of the
Apostles, and visit significant sites of Greek history and culture. At
the end of the program, staff and campers return to their homes with
strengthened faith and a greater appreciation for the Church and Greek  culture.
