Tales from the Camino de Santiago: 800 km of Stories to Share

Our Rotary club meeting on Wednesday, 23 September, will welcome Skip and Sheila Collins, who will have just completed an 800 km walk along the Camino de Santiago.

Over lunch, Skip and Sheila will share their experiences of the journey — the challenges, memorable moments, the people they met along the way, and what the Camino has meant to them.

We warmly invite members to join us and encourage you to bring a friend or guest to enjoy the lunch, fellowship and their stories from the Camino de Santiago

It promises to be an interesting and engaging afternoon, bringing together good company, conversation and the experience of two people who have shared a remarkable journey.

We look forward to welcoming members and guests on Wednesday, 23 September 2026

Meet Skip & Sheila Collins

Skip and Sheila Collins have spent much of their lives serving others. They lived for 35 years in South Africa, where they moved to work with an international Non Governmental Organisation (NGO)

Later, Skip became a pastor, while Sheila managed their “Baby House”, caring for abandoned babies until they could be adopted through the South African adoption system. During those years, they cared for more than 60 babies.

Now full-time grandparents living in the United States to be close to their family, Skip and Sheila continue to embrace life with purpose and enthusiasm.

This year, Skip launched his YouTube channel, “If You’re Not Dead, You’re Not Done,” sharing reflections and practical advice on making the later years of life some of the best years yet.

Having just completed an 800 km walk along the Camino de Santiago, Skip and Sheila will join us to share their experiences of the journey and the stories they gathered along the way.
