La Montaña is a great place, not only
because of the nature, but also the
people. They put their love for God in
every action they do, every piece of
food prepared, every recreational
activity, every worship experience, etc.

What Our Campers Say...

2. OurMission
Latin America Assistance’s (LAMA) passion and mission focus is
to reach the vast & growing number of youth throughout the
Spanish-speaking world with the transforming message of Jesus
Christ.
La Montana Christian Camps, LAMA’s Camping
Ministry, sits on a 650-acre cloud forest property bordering the
Tilaran Mountain Range in central Costa Rica. This extraordinary
property was donated to LAMA in 1998 for the purpose of
developing a state-of-the-art camping facility that would attract
youth from all over Latin America.
As an evangelistic, high impact adventure camp, our strategy and
vision is to work with teenagers 12-19 years old to win and
disciple them into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Through a variety of recreational activities: ropes courses,
climbing walls, ponds, playing fields, an in-line skating rink, we
meet the physical and relational needs of today’s teen. This high-
energy curriculum enables us to effectively use the morning and
evening chapel times, employing all the technological tools at
our disposal to communicate God’s love and plan for each
camper’s life. And the best part of the La Montaña Ministry is that
we work through local churches so that every decision made at
camp has an opportunity for follow-up and discipleship!
Since its inauguration in 2001 more than 80,000 teens have
come through our program and thousands have committed their
lives to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Our camp motto is:
ADVENTURES THAT IMPACT YOUR LIFE.
CAMPINGTHEGOSPEL
Reaching Latin American Youth For The Kingdom
We don’t Want to Stop...
We desire to expand our reach beyond Costa Rica to neighboring countries in Latin America. As with most
Latin Countries, which are comprised of 60-70% young people under the age of 15, our 20/20 Vision seeks to
impact the youth of a continent with the life transforming message of Jesus Christ.
