PELOPONNESE, GREECE — Ionian Village has announced its Summer 2026 program dates, with camper registration now officially open. Session One will run from June 16 to July 5, "IV Next" from July 5 to July 15, and Session Two from July 15 to August 3. Early-bird pricing ends March 16, with registration closing April 13.

For more than five decades, the ministry of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America has offered young people an immersive encounter with Orthodoxy and Hellenism. Since its founding in 1970, more than 20,000 campers have participated in the program, building faith-centered friendships that endure long after summer ends.

Located along the Ionian Sea in western Greece, the camp hosts up to 200 campers and 50 staff. With travel days across the Peloponnese and Ionian Islands, participants visit historic and spiritual landmarks while deepening their Orthodox faith.

Previously, the UOJ reported that the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Boston Camp finished a record-breaking summer.
