Description: Campo Alegria is a year around Camp dedicated to meeting the needs of under privileged children in Nicaragua. We're located on the beach of beautiful Lake Nicaragua, 10 minutes from Rivas. Our goal is to show the love of Christ to children who need a helping hand, and we do it in the universal language of children - Fun! If you're a mission team or volunteer we have a rewarding opportunity for you, and coordinators to help you every step of the way. ESL, Vocational Classes and One on One Mentoring are just a few of the ways you can affect a child's life forever.

Campo Alegria currently does not provide on site housing but will work with you to arrange accommodations that fit your personality. We also have North American Staff on location to work with you as you seek out the adventurous path God is leading you down.

Highlights: Swimming in lake Nicaragua, Horse Back Riding, Playing Sports and most importantly - affecting a less fortunate child's life for eternity.
