Once its approved, you'll choose between either (1) requesting a fundraising page, or (2) submitting your $400 trip deposit (either by check or via the online link we email you).

While vaccinations are not required for this trip, the CDC has recommendations for traveling to Costa Rica. Seek professional medical advice/instruction from your doctor or health care provider and confirm you are current on your vaccinations.

Within 1-2 months of the trip date, we'll reach out to you to confirm the trip's expected flight itinerary & cost. Once flights are booked, we'll schedule our trip team's meeting and email you a trip guide for you to review (so that you can arrive at the meeting prepared with questions). If you buy apparel or gear from our SHOP, we'll try to bring you your order at the meeting! 

After our team meeting, you'll begin making final travel preparations. About 1 week before departure, we'll email you a reminder with details for the day of departure. As you prepare to leave, remember to prepare your heart for what God has planned — check out our list of top books to read!

WHAT WE DO

This trip is your opportunity to support & serve alongside our missionary partner, the Arista family, in San Isidro, Costa Rica.

We partner with Pastor Christopher Arista's church, Calvary Chapel Palabra Viva, to serve church families, train church leaders, and minister to local families & children. We engage in various ministries, including a Men's Rehabilitation Program, a Special Needs Home, a Troubled Kids Program, and the End of Life Center.

 

We also have fun visiting the beach, hiking up to a waterfall, eating at unique restaurants, and making s'mores around the fire pit at the Arista's home!
