History of Campamento Casi Cielo (Almost Heaven)
The dream of a Christian Camp began in the hearts of the
Christian community of La Fortuna in 1994. A vision stirred the
hearts of
John and Bessie Ott (missionaries) to make this dream a reality.
Through contacts in the United States, work-teams were developed
in 1998 to begin construction in 1999. The first cabins were
completed in 2000.
Today
Camp Casi Cielo has become a beacon in the community for
Christian activities, from retreats and baptisms to weddings and
outreach programs in local schools and churches. This beautiful
campus is located on the Fortuna river one mile from La Fortuna,
on the Waterfall road.
