  • The Cost of the trip is $450.00. Your $450.00 is for your room and board while we are in Costa Rica, and ground transportation. This amount does not include your flights to and from San Jose, Costa Rica or any incidentals you may want to purchase while there or souvenirs.
  • RMS has significant experience in estimating trip costs. It does its best to estimate them accurately. However, Participants understand that actual trip costs may end up either slightly higher or lower than our best estimate. Participants further understand and agree that if trip costs are more than estimated, RMS will be responsible for any excess and no excess charges will be passed on to Participants. However, if trip costs are less than estimated, Participants agree that RMS may retain any excess and no refunds will be made.

    HOST TEAM COORDINATORS: Each Host Team Coordinator is required to submit information for a Background Check and view a Training Video through the organization “Protect My Ministry”. They shall also be familiar with the RMS Safety, Security and Supervision Policy (see the 2017 TASC Manual Appendix: Safety, Security, and Supervision Policy).

  • The RMS Board of Directors expect that all participants of this RMS sponsored trip will work together to honor the dress code. Ultimately, the responsibility of upholding this policy is left to the discretion of your Leaders and the RMS Board Representative on this trip. Because modest dress is often subjective to individual convictions and freedoms we have in Christ, please keep in mind the Biblical principles stated in 1 Corinthians 8:9 and Philippians 2:4 which encourage God’s people to avoid being a stumbling block by considering what is best for others. Therefore, please adhere to the following specifics of the dress code:

    ● SHIRTS: Shirts must be loose fitting, with sleeves (no tank tops), covers personal areas (midriff, cleavage, undergarments). Shirts must not contain writing or images that are unsuitable for a Christian.

    ● PANTS, SHORTS and SKIRTS: Pants, Shorts and Skirts must be mid-thigh in length or longer and loose fitting (no spandex or yoga pants). Please do not wear anything with writing on the seat.

    ● SWIMWEAR: Modest swimwear is mandatory. For women, a one-piece or tankini is permitted provided that all personal areas are well covered (midriff, cleavage). For men, no brief-style speedos. Please wear the type of bathing suit that allows you the most modesty.

    ● SHOES: Enclosed footwear (work boots, tennis shoes) is required on all job sites. Other footwear (flip-flops, sandals) may be worn at other times during the event.

    WORKSITE CONDITIONS: Remember that worksites can result in making one’s clothing dirty, so bring clothing you don’t mind getting ruined with the possibility of having to discard them after the end of your trip.

    CULTURAL REQUIREMENTS: additional dress code requirements may be required based on the particular culture of your trip location. Any specific additions or changes to this dress code will be addressed through correspondence prior to the trip.

  • - No entering the rooms of persons of the opposite gender.

    - No possession or use of alcohol or tobacco at any time (see I Corinthians 8:9).

    - No possession of illegal drugs at any time. No weapons, explosive devices, etc.

    - Participants will respect all property and may be held responsible for property damages incurred.

    - Attendance at all functions is mandatory. Attendants are not permitted to leave the group for personal reasons except urgencies.

    - Electronic equipment such as cell phones and laptop computers are permitted for adults provided they are used primarily for the project.

    - Please refrain from using electronic devices during the event to promote Christian fellowship and unity.

    - Participants will adhere to the dress code at all times.
