Honestly for me this trip was hard. Yet I DO NOT REGRET GOING. Interesting enough, sometimes after you have gone through hard things you are able to find the beauty and the things that you were meant to learn. God has a unique experience for everyone that goes on these trips. For me I may not have found a bunch of answers to my questions, but I did learn that I need to just trust the Lord. I also learned about the power of sharing your testimony even if you are struggling, its ok to be vulnerable. In fact, when you are vulnerable you can strength someone else's testimony. I am so grateful to have gone of the trip with the people that I went with because some of their testimonies touch my heart in a way that helped strengthen my own. Being able to go on a trip and not have a device to be distracted by was amazing and help me learn more about who I was. All of the guides and adults were so kind and caring. They all showed incredible amounts of Christ-Like attributes that I hope I can start to develop and show in my daily life. Also, all the activities we did were so much fun and since we were out in a beautiful country you could appreciate the views around you. Every waterfall we went to was unique and breath taking yet each were the same in the amount of peace and beauty they had/gave. Learning to surf was an awesome experience to because it was frustrating at times but also very satisfying when you finally catch a wave. Seriously I would highly recommend going on a YWE trip, you go and have incredible experiences with incredible people and learn incredible things. There is something special about going and enjoying God's creations with random people. These trips do a good job with having fun and inviting the spirit to teach us youth.

YWE is the best youth adventure trip out there! I have sent several of my kids on multiple different trips with YWE and they always come home saying the trip changed them. They grow closer to God, make new and lasting friendships and do hard things. They learn who they are and gain life long skills. I would recommend YWE to anyone and everyone!

The most spiritual and loving group I have ever been in. I loved it so much I’ll be back next year!

This trip was action packed, and well-organized. I enjoyed seeing all the waterfalls! Would highly recommend.

Amazing experience. 20/10 would recommend to any one. This trip was an insanely great opportunity to try some pretty remarkable hard things, accomplish those things, meet and bond with amazing people, and be taught by the spirit amidst the beauty of nature. Thank you to Glen, Lane, Mark, Ben, Alyssa, Aaron and all others who made this happen!
