Day 1

Arrive in San Jose, Costa Rica, and meet your Joshua Expeditions guide once you pass through customs and immigration. You will transfer by bus to the hotel, take a moment to freshen up and, if time permits, maybe even shop at a traditional Costa Rican market in downtown San Jose. Following dinner you will return to the hotel for devotions and a chance to share the day’s experiences.

Day 2

Physical and spiritual needs are great within the communities of Costa Rica. Over the next three days you will have ample opportunities to join with local organizations in ministry to the people of the area. You will be challenged to share your faith through both word and deed, so you will want to work with your coordinator to find the best fit for your group.

Day 3

In your ministry today you may find yourself presenting children's clubs or working with the local youth. There may also be opportunities to present Christian concerts, skits and drama. Maximize the talents of your group and make the most of this mission experience.

Day 4

On this final day of ministry in the San Jose area, you may have an opportunity to assist a local organization with light construction work or work in one of their outreach programs. Every task offers a chance for evangelism as you serve the community with the love of Christ.

Day 5

This last full day in Costa Rica will provide a great amount of fun as the group heads out early for a one-day Catamaran cruise* to the white sandy island of Tortuga. You will enjoy great food, lots of activities and a whole lot of sun!

*Instead of a Catamaran cruise, your group may choose a day of white water rafting — a special sort of high adventure! You will wake up early for an unforgettable day of rafting on the Pacuare, a challenging river with class three and four rapids. It is a safe and exciting experience you won't soon forget.

Day 6

Head home after an amazing trip to Costa Rica!
