Servant Life Partners with La Montana Christian Camp to send American teams on short-term mission experiences to Costa Rica. La Montana’s passion is to reach the vast number of youth throughout the Spanish-speaking world with the transforming message of Jesus Christ.
La Montana Christian Camp was a dream of Costa Rican missionary Joe Pent, and runs under the leadership of his son, Joe Pent, Jr. In the late 1990’s the Pents began to develop a premier Christian camp that would endeavor to work through the local church in reaching Costa Rica for Christ. They dreamed and prayed for a large property that would enable them to build a state-of-the-art camp in order to reach many young people with the transforming message of Jesus Christ. In 1998, that vision became a reality when God gave them a 600-acre cloud forest property bordering the Tilaran Mountain Range, 22 kilometers from San Ramon, Alajuela, Costa Rica.
With the technical advice and wise counsel of friends from Hume Lake Christian Camp and the prayers and financial support of hundreds of Christians, they began building a camp for 150 teenagers. The recreational program and spiritual impact over the years were so evident, that they have been forced to grow the facilities and double their capacity.
La Montana’s Phase I Camp now has the capacity for 300 campers. The facilities include boys’ and girls’ cabin areas each with a large restrooms, a dining commons, a 400-seat chapel, a large gymnasium and game room, a sports field, high and low ropes courses, 3 large ponds for water games, staff and guest housing, and an office/reception area.
Since its inauguration in 2001, La Montana Christian Camp has reached over 50,000 young people, and as a result, thousands have committed their lives to Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. Servant Life is excited to partner with La Montana as we send teams of Americans to help serve at their youth camps.
