IN PERSON- Walking the Camino de Santiago

This program will be delivered via Zoom and will be streamed to our Kingsley Room. If you want to watch the program from home, register here

Join us and learn more about the Camino de Santiago, the medieval pilgrims’ trail that ends in Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain.  The presenter has traveled it on two occasions: in 2007 and in 2015. This presentation will focus on his four-week, 700-kilometer walk in 2007 from Pamplona to Santiago along the Camino Francés, with his wife Sandy.

Art Charles has been a teacher and administrator in US public and private schools, as well as schools in India, Switzerland, Ecuador, Bulgaria and Lebanon.  He currently does senior administrator searches for international schools around the world. Art is the author of four books:

• Boots on the Camino – an account of his walk across northern Spain, the topic of this talk
• Shadow Rider – an account of his 3,800-mile solo bike trip from Puget Sound to the Gulf of Maine
• Holidays in a War Zone – a collection of mostly humorous essays about his travel experiences
• How to Learn a Foreign Language

Art works as a consultant to international schools around the world to find senior administrators.  In his spare time, he makes Tiffany-style lampshades.
