About this trip

If you’re a single member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints between the ages of 18 and 29, and you crave adventure with a purpose—this Costa Rica experience is for you. You’ll join a group of like-minded young adults for an unforgettable journey through jungles and beaches, where you’ll surf epic waves, rappel down waterfalls, swim in crystal-clear rivers, and dive headfirst into the unknown.


This isn’t just about adrenaline (though there will be plenty of that)—it’s about connection. You’ll build real friendships with other single members who share your values, your faith, and your desire to live life to the fullest. Each morning begins with Scripture study, and every evening we’ll gather for devotionals, reflecting on how we’ve seen God throughout the day.


The trip is physically demanding, so come prepared to be challenged—but know you’ll return home stronger, spiritually grounded, and with a clearer vision of the path God has for you. This is more than a trip. It’s a life-changing experience with eternal impact.
