This trip will take place in the Central Valley of Costa Rica. Participants will get to know the members of Iglesia Bautista Emanuel (Emmanuel Baptist Church) and will help with sports, games, crafts, and Bible lessons for their Vacation Bible School (VBS).  There will be interpreters available to help out when needed.

In addition to helping with the four days of VBS, team members will have the opportunity to serve with a Saturday soccer ministry for 6-12 year olds in a very poor community (soccer skills are not required).  

There will also be an overnight excursion to the Pacific coast where the rain forest meets the ocean, and monkeys, sloths, iguanas, and macaws are seen daily.
