Popoff

knows life  

on the edge

Since 2024, Reagan has teamed up with local businesses in Costa Rica to bring Popoff Adventures to life, giving retreatants the chance to dive into his lifestyle headfirst. Based on Reagan’s real experience living in Costa Rica, Popoff Adventures delivers the Pura Vida spirit to the fullest extent.

Our retreats provide a behind-the-curtain peek into what a life spent chasing adventure feels like. Reagan intentionally tailored this week to be a formative experience- one that challenges participants to push boundaries, embrace fear, and reject the mediocre way of living. Building not just community, but also personal, mental, and spiritual growth.

literal cliffs and internal ones—where fear is loud, and the comfort is tempting. I’ve learned that most people aren't lacking the ability; they are lacking the permission, clarity, and the courage to trust God beyond what feels safe. Adventure has a way of stripping away distractions and revealing what is actually inside us.”

our Goal is to open eyes

We're not following worldly trends. We're experiencing each moment through a clearer lens.

With authenticity, courage, and heart at the center of everything we do, Popoff Adventures serves a greater purpose: helping others come to life.

  • We are an adventure retreat for young adults who know there’s more to life than constant comfort and noise. Founded by bold believers in Christianity, we exist as a launch point. A place to wake up, tune in, and step into the fullness of who God created you to be

  • Young people today are navigating a profound crisis.

    1 in 3 young adults report chronic loneliness, and a staggering 86% feels they lack purpose or significance. This isolation is compounded by an average of 9 hours of daily screen time.

    We were not designed to thrive in this kind of isolation.

    We’re here because the need is clear.
    To step away from the noise.
    To rebuild a real connection.
    To create space for purpose, depth, and truth

  • We trade distraction for intention. Through daring adventure, playful energy, and grounded mentorship, we put fun at the center without losing sight of the deeper purpose. We believe growth happens when we challenge our bodies, stretch our minds, strengthen our spirits, and do it all while prioritizing safety, honesty, and boldness.
