Costa Rica is one of the most stable countries in Central America, economically and politically.
Its volcanoes and lush jungles draw tourists from around the world, and its easygoing beach towns are a popular destination for world-class surfing.
One of the only countries without an active military, Costa Rica lives by the motto, pura vida, which embodies an easy-going approach to life.
Enjoy the delicious coffee and slower pace of life here.
You will be staying in the small beach town of Jaco, in the facilities of Ocean’s Edge Ministries.

During your time serving in Costa Rica, you’ll stay in the small beach town of Jaco, in the housing of Ocean’s Edge Ministries. They have a number of rooms with beds, bathrooms and small kitchens. Please bring all your sheets, bedding, pillow and towel. You may not always have hot water.
Your team will fly into San Jose, Costa Rica, where we’ll meet you at the airport. We will arrange all of the ground transportation to and from the airport, as well as to and from the ministry sites during the day.
Your team might help out in the kitchen. Your breakfast will be cereal, bread, fruits, eggs, juice, and coffee. Your lunches will be peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, ham and cheese sandwiches, fruits, and chips. Your dinners will be prepared onsite or at a local restaurant.
The safety of our participants is a top priority for us. We have both an internal Risk Management team and external Risk Management consultants. We use a multi-pronged approach to risk management – including monitoring information from reporting agencies and relying on the knowledge of our ministry partners. In addition to our own protocols (e.g., students must be with an adult at all times), our ministry hosts and partners will provide trip specific safety guidelines for the particular trip location. Our Project Leaders are trained in risk management and have access to both on-field and home-office support.
$500 Deposit: This deposit is required to reserve your trip. At this point, you will lock in your trip and we will keep in touch with you going forward about preparation. This deposit is applied to the total cost of your trip.
50% Payment: Half of your total trip cost will need to be paid 3 months before your trip.
100% Payment: The remaining balance is due 2 months before your trip.
An adult Project Leader will be assigned to your team throughout the duration of your trip. They will stay with you and your team, as well as engage daily with you throughout ministry and daily life activities. This leader will have strong missions experience, leadership experience and a demonstrated competence in the area of discipleship of youth and young adults. In most cases, your project leader will help with facilitating ministry, meals and daily debrief and devotional time. Your Project Leader will be assigned to your trip and you’ll have the opportunity to have conversations with them during the weeks leading up to your trip.
