We have many years of youth ministry and missions to draw from, because of this we know that the last thing that you as a busy leader need is to put time and energy into planning and logistics of a mission trip in a foreign country. So on all of our PVM mission trips we ask you to bring your youth to the airport and we will pick you up and between that time and the time we drop you back off at the airport you are free from worry about logistics.
We also include everything that you could think of in the cost of the trip. Most of our trips provide all of the following:

-  Food: We serve excellent typical Costa Rican food so that participants get a feel for the local cuisine and are possibly moved out of their comfort zones by “rice and beans.”

-  Housing: We host teams in our base camp, host families, hotels, and churches. You are always guaranteed a bed unless otherwise desired. We try to make our housing comfortable and adequate but not luxurious.

- Transportation: PVM maintains a fleet of vehicles that are used for transporting participants to and from outreach areas and activities. We also use trusted hired transportation to see participants moved safely from place to place.

-  Staff: We provide knowledgeable staff for all of our trips. Most groups would be assigned at least three staff to lead and guide your trip and relate with your group.

-  Training: We always provide spiritual input to the experience. This makes the experience more impactful in discipleship. This training may be done at the beginning or throughout the experience as a whole.

-  Ministry supplies: We provide all materials that are needed for every project that is done: Children’s ministry, evangelism, Servant evangelism, construction projects, etc.

-  Vacation: If your trip is 8 days or more we also take care of planning and carrying out a vacation/excursion day for your group. The typical vacation day is valued at $110 and is included in the amount that you pay for your total trip.
