Costa Rica Mission Trip (June)
Every year God gives Chapelgate students the opportunity to join him in his work in Los Guido, a slum of San Jose, Costa Rica. We partner with Christian Light Foundation in Costa Rica. Previous service activities have included vacation bible school, work projects including making and delivering beds and painting buildings. Students get the opportunity to build relationships with local children as well as their peers. It is a wonderful time to serve God and others cross-culturally.
