La Montaña Christian Camps has just completed a powerful summer where over 3,000 campers attended and more than 300 gave their lives to Christ, bringing the total to 200,000 campers impacted since 2001. Despite challenges, including the loss of two staff members, God has been faithful, and the ministry continues to grow under the leadership of Manasés & Ana and Lincoln & Katie. Exciting plans are ahead: the first six-week college internship with nine students was a great success, and future opportunities include a two-week high school internship, a six-week college internship, and more serve teams in 2026. Testimonies from interns and serve team members highlight how deeply camp impacts lives, providing rest, growth, and community. Looking forward, La Montaña is preparing major projects, including adding new camper cabins to expand capacity, building staff housing, and developing a sports complex with a gym, gathering spaces, and new ranchitos. Supporters are invited to sponsor campers, continue giving toward scholarships, and join in celebrating the ministry’s 25th Anniversary on January 25, 2026, with a weekend of lodging, activities, and a special banquet alongside pastors and leaders from across Costa Rica.

2026 Projects List

Increasing Capacity of Bosque Real

Estimated Cost : $250,000

We want to add a 4 more camper cabins with internal bathrooms to increase our lower campus capacity from 320-400 campers! This will complete the Master Plan for the lower camp and will add to the increasing demand for more capacity.

Staff Community Housing – 5 homes

Estimated Cost : $50,000 per unit

The La Montaña family is growing and we want to provide a more permanent housing option for them as they grow their family! These 2X1 and 3X2 homes will house our full-time married staff. Our goal is to build the infrastructure first and then build the homes as money comes in.

Sports Complex Expansion

Estimated Cost : $300,000

We plan to add a roofed Gymnasium, a new 500-seat Victory Circle and fire pit; a Snack Shack with a small dining room loft and a 5 more small group “Ranchitos”. These improvements will allow us to expand our one-day camp offerings as well as our planned outdoor education ministry.
