January Nature Camp
Living in an impoverished urban community in La Carpio, San Jose, Costa Rica, these children have no access to green space or even somewhere safe to play. This 4-day camp allows them to have a refreshing break from tumultuous home lives, in nature, to connect to the Lord and each other in a safe, spiritual environment. They will have a mixture of Bible lessons, arts & crafts, and recreation activities that all relate back to the theme of applying the Bibles to their lives.
Our 2024 theme was Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest”. Thank you to Hope Fellowship for coming to be with us and for sponsoring 40 campers. Thank you to individual sponsors who sponsored 20 more campers!
Our 2025 theme verse was 1 Peter 5:7 “Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you” / “Depositen en él toda ansiedad, porque él cuida de ustedes”. Thank you to Hope Fellowship for coming to be with us and sponsoring 30 campers.
Our 2026 planning is underway and we are happy to have Hope Fellowship’s youth group joining us this year!
