Costa Rica Registration Form
We’re thrilled about our upcoming Costa Rica Mission Trip! Please take a moment to complete this registration form. By Sunday, November 16, a $25 non-refundable deposit is due and required to secure your spot on the trip. This deposit will go toward reserving your airline ticket, which will be booked shortly after November 16.
This will be an incredible experience! During our time in Costa Rica, we’ll spend some time hosting a children’s camp, serving at our adopted school and enjoying a couple of relaxing days before returning home.
Trip Dates: July 8–16, 2026
We are estimating the cost to be between $1,800 and $2,000 per person. We will have fundraising opportunities along the way and our Missions Advisory Committee usually offers a hand.
