Costa Rica is a Central American country like no other, sitting with the Pacific Ocean on the west and Atlantic Ocean to the east, with Nicaragua to the north, and Panama to the south. Over 4.5 million people call her home and over 2 million people are located within the general area of the capital, San José. The name Costa Rica translates directly to mean "Rich Coast" and once you visit here, you'll see why - the incredible biodiversity, protected natural parks, stunning beaches, and more than anything, the warm and welcoming culture, make this country spectacular.
While partnering with local pastors and churches, this team will be able to serve the local community through kids camps and other community projects.
From June 15-21 the team will get to experience serving and learning in this new environment! Because of fluctuating airfare costs, we are estimating a higher trip cost to be cautious. We are estimating a $1,800 cost which will cover airfare, lodging, food, and more. Upon approval of application, trip participants are responsible for a 10% non-refundable deposit. Participants are also responsible for any meals and snacks purchased in airports and for any souvenirs they wish to purchase.
