Local ChaptersAmerican Pilgrims is a national organization and is eager to encourage and support local or regional groups that wish to form Local Chapters. You can check the individual chapter pages linked below and the Local Events Calendar for event dates and information. If you are traveling to an area where there is a local chapter, check their page to see if you will be coinciding with an event there. There's a move afoot to form a Western Pennsylvania - Eastern Ohio Chapter and they have a second exploratory event planned. And there is a first exploratory meeting to scope out interest in a DelMarVa Chapter. (That's the DelMarVa Peninsula - the east shore of the Chesapeake Bay. But those of you who live there already knew that!) If you live in either of these general areas, check out the particulars down below. If you would like information about starting a local chapter or presently scheduled chapter exploratory meetings, please see the information at the bottom of this page.

Scheduled Exploratory MeetingsMuch of the time there are chapter formation exploratory meetings scheduled in various places in the country. Western Pennsylvania – Eastern Ohio: A second exploratory meeting to form a chapter in the Western Pennsylvania – Eastern Ohio area has been scheduled for Saturday, March 9, 2019. Whether you’re an experienced pilgrim, or are yet to experience your Camino, does the idea of bringing the spirit of the Camino to this area by getting together with fellow pilgrims during the year for outings, Camino presentations, tapas, and potlucks sound good to you? This will be the second and most important meeting. There will be discussion of who the chapter coordinators will be, what the members are looking for from the chapter, a tentative schedule of activities, and much more! This meeting will be held on Saturday, March 9, 2019 from 1:00 to 3:00 PM at Saint Barbara Church, 111 Raymaley Road, Harrison City, PA. This will be a chance to meet, discuss chapter activities, eat, drink and talk. If you attended the December exploratory meeting we hope that you will be able to attend our March 9th meeting as well and to bring a friend or friends. Please RSVP to [email protected] or on the Niños del Camino Facebook group page to let us know if you plan to attend and how many family or friends (if any) you're bringing with you. ¡Buen Camino! and hope to see you there! DelMarVa Peninsula: I am writing to invite you to an exploratory meeting to determine if there is enough interest to create a DelMarVa Chapter of American Pilgrims. The mission of the chapter would be to provide support to past, present and future pilgrims through various activities, such as hikes, events, and information sharing. Check out the article in the Cape Gazette! The first step toward establishing a chapter is to have an exploratory meeting for all interested people. The particulars: Saturday, March 16, 2019, from 10:30 AM to noon Please RSVP to [email protected] to let me know if you plan to attend and how many family/friends, if any, you are bringing with you. I look forward to meeting you on March 16. Buen Camino! ————————————————————
