Camino de Santiago for Schools


Walking the Camino de Santiago is an unforgettable adventure and memorable achievement for younger pilgrims. Our Camino de Santiago for Schools tours take them to the glorious UNESCO-listed ancient trails of the Camino, following in the footsteps of medieval pilgrims, giving students a fantastic team challenge and immersive cultural experience to remember.

In order to receive your Pilgrim Certificate in Santiago de Compostela, the group should walk at least the last 100kms of one of the Camino routes, which takes approximately a week, stamping their pilgrim passport along the way. However, we can also organise a shorter 4-night Camino de Santiago break to get a taste for these unique trails.

The Camino de Santiago is one of our most popular school trips and a fantastic experience for Transition Year students. Whether you pick the traditional Camino Frances, the Camino Portugues or an off the beaten track route, the Camino journey will be a truly memorable one for students.
