The Charlotte, NC chapter of American Pilgrims south-central North Carolina and north-central South Carolina centered on Charlotte.
The purpose of local chapters is to keep members connected to the Camino and to introduce new people to the phenomenon. We plan to accomplish this in a number of ways, such as social events, walks, mentoring future pilgrims and serving as a local host for hospitalero training through American Pilgrims.
- To offer opportunities for local pilgrims to gather and hold events related to the Camino.
- To mentor future pilgrims, promote the pilgrimage and American Pilgrims through social gatherings.
- To serve as a local host for hospitalero training in the south-central North Carolina region.
Contact chapter coordinators Martha Fry, Mike Gardner, John Kennedy and Vince Pratt via email for more information. Although we strongly recommend becoming a (dues-paying) member of the national American Pilgrims organization, it is not required to participate in local chapter events. The national organization provides significant financial and logistical support to the locals. You can learn more information about membership benefits or join on the website!
