Ionian Village

200 campers per session fly together from New York to Athens and travel by motor coach to the camp, located near Vartholomio,[2] west of the regional trading town of Amaliada.

In camp days feature a blend of athletics, arts and crafts, music and Greek culture, and time for free swim in the Olympic sized pool or the private beach.

At the end of the program, participants spend 3 nights in Athens, where they get to visit the Acropolis and Changing of the Guards in Syntagma Square, and shop in Monastiraki.

The original land grant of 2,840 acres—11,500 stremmata, or 11.5 square kilometers—of pine forest and beachfront on the north-west coast of Elis, on the Peloponnese mainland was secured by the then-Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North & South America in 1966 as a gift from the government of Greece, with supportive sponsorship from Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis.

This building would be used for the lodging of clergy and medical staff, "Flextivities", as well as Music & Greek culture activities[4] See this photo of the commemorative plaque unveiled by Mrs. Kennedy-Onassis at the opening.
