CAMP EL CAMINO
July 26 - July 30, 2020
ā
For centuries, people have made pilgrimages in an effort to encounter God. El Camino de Santiago (āthe Way of St. Jamesā) is a famous network of pilgrimage routes across Europe leading to the tomb of St. James the Apostle, located in Santiago, Spain.
Here at Santiago Retreat Center, Camp El Camino provides youth with an exciting Christian pilgrimage experience in Orange County. Campers will make friends, have fun, grow in faith and holiness, and encounter Christ along āThe Wayā!
ā
Living Christian lives in our society is not easy, especially for youth. Camp El Camino offers youth a space to encounter Christ and find fellow Christian pilgrims in our Christian journey toward God. It is an opportunity for each beloved pilgrim to intentionally begin their pilgrimage ā their Camino with Christ and transform their hearts!
