We are a  volunteer-led chapter of American Pilgrims on the Camino serving the Valley of the Sun-Phoenix metro area. Whether you have yet to walk your first Camino or have walked many,  we’re a community of pilgrims who share Camino de Santiago experiences, support each other, have fun and encourage one another to keep the Spirit of the Camino alive. 

We are a  volunteer-led chapter of American Pilgrims on the Camino serving the Valley of the Sun-Phoenix metro area.

Our events are monthly (except hikes and presentations break June-August):

- Informative Zoom presentations (because virtual meetings can reach interested pilgrims across the Valley's sprawl) - Our monthly Zoom presentations are a great way to learn about or relive Camino topics and experiences. Some past topics include highlights of different Camino routes, architecture along the Camino, Camino 101 & 201, and more. You never know what we’ll talk about next – but it will be Camino-related

- Hikes around the valley of various distances for training the body and sharing Camino experiences  no matter where you are in the Valley or your experience level, we have hikes or strolls for you. During hiking season we have multiple hikes a month – but always one on the 3rd Saturday. We rotate hikes around the Valley and provide sweeps to ensure no one is left behind regardless of speed/experience.

- Introduction Strolls in the Spring at a social pace with a coffee break for the Camino curious and experienced pilgrims willing to spread the word

- Zoom Camino Coffees - We also meet monthly via Zoom on the 2nd Monday to talk all things Camino  while enjoying a cafe con leche. This is a great time for new pilgrims to obtain info & experienced pilgrims to share their experience and expertise.

- Special Events -We seek to nurture a community of pilgrims. We host celebrations including Shell Ceremonies to bless outbound pilgrims, a Welcome Home event for returning pilgrims & for St. James Day. 

- Presentations throughout the year at REI and other venues
