The Camino de Santiago is an ancient pilgrimage route that traces the path that St. James walked through Spain. This route remains sacred to modern pilgrims and provides an opportunity for deep reflection and spiritual growth, no matter one’s religious affiliation. Students will walk a portion of the Camino and develop personal goals for their own pilgrimage. Readings range from medieval to modern day documentation of the path. Students will keep a journal throughout their travel and will complete a summative evaluation upon return. This course is physically demanding, requiring up to 20 miles of walking per day over rough terrain. Sights include mountains, vineyards, and ancient villages.

Applications received after October 1 will be processed on a rolling basis. Those selection decisions will be announced approximately two weeks after the application is submitted.
