Camp Cost and Expenses

To avoid many of the hassles that often arise with planning an overseas missions trip, we have put together a comprehensive packet in order to lighten your load. We take care of all of the in-country details of your trip while you are in charge of all of the US-based expenses.

Here’s how it works:

Airfare and trip insurance

Airfare runs between $500-$700.
- It is best to plan departures from Sunday through Thursday since they tend to be cheaper – we will help you with the appropriate dates to travel for your trip
- Avoid connections in Miami & Atlanta since it makes the trip longer for those flying from the West Cost
Trip insurance – contact your current provider and ask for a trip coverage for your team – it is very reasonable. Or you can checkout MEDEX online for quotes www.MedExAssist.com.

Costa Rica trip expenses

Beginning in 2007, we are arranging 12-day missions trips – 2 days for travel on either end and 10 days in country.

Cost: $850.00 which includes the following
- Camp scholarships
- Ground transportation
- Room and board while at camp
- Hotel stays for your last night in country
  (because of early departures)
- 1-2 nights for a R&R and shopping at the beach.

That’s it! You don’t need to worry about a thing. We take care of all of the details for you! Typically, you will be sponsoring a 4-day camp, and will be sharing cabins with the Costa Rican young people. During the second half of your trip, you will either serve as support staff for another 4-day camp or will have the opportunity to be right back in the cabins with the campers! This is a people-based ministry all around! So what does a trip itinerary look like?

Check it out:

Day 1: Travel and arrival at camp
Day 2: Orientation and preparation
Day 3-6: Camp #1 – in cabins with the campers as asupport
staff person
Day 6-9: Camp #2 – in the kitchen and program support roles
Day 9-11: R&R at the beach. A time for fun and shopping.

That’s it! It’s that simple. Our goal is to take as much of the burden off of you as we can. If there are any additional questions about the camp or finances, please don’t hesitate to call:
