A Path to Page: Write Your Camino Story is a two-hour workshop for hikers ready to turn their Camino adventures into more than memories and journal entries. We’ll explore story structure, writing techniques, and ways to shape your experiences into an article, a short story, or book. Expect small group discussions, laughter, and handouts, plus ideas for getting your story onto the page and finally out of your backpack.
