Try a search (bottom of the page) for "teen" as well, I am pretty sure you will find many threads on this topic.I have wanted to do the Camino since I was 18 and never got around to it. Now I am 31 and am planning on doing the Camino in May 2015 with my daughter (age 12) Do you have any suggestions? Do any of you have personal experience with walking with a tween/teen? Right now she is all for it, we live a relatively nomadic life and are used to spending a lot of time together so I am not worried about that aspect, but would love to know of what any of you did before or during the walk to engage you children and keep them interested. Thanks in advance.
We walked it with a 15 month old, so a whole other ballgame. But we did meet a 12 year old in Laguna de Castilla riding a triplet bicycle with her parents (they had begun in Paris). I think that my primary concerns would be the ones you already addressed, meaning as long as she is into it, it should go well. Spain isn't so much a nation as a diverse grouping of different cultures, meaning it's gonna change as you walk---topography, food, people. Meanwhile she'll be meeting people from all nationalities. I think it won't get so mundane for her. I think it will go well.I have wanted to do the Camino since I was 18 and never got around to it.

I plan on walking either the Frances or Norte with my 12 year old daughter in June 2015. I'm a little apprehensive because she is excited now but who knows what she'll be like once we actually start walking. My biggest fear is hearing her whine for a whole month!!!! What fun is that, right??? I wish you the best of luck and hopefully we will instill a love of nature and walking in our girls!!!!

Lydia, I will pray "for whatever is best" for the two of you.Will you all pray that if it right for us to go that my back will get completely better and that no matter what that the Spirit will give me the wisdom to make the correct decision.
