    • Higher Ground Retreats™  

      HG Week 1 - May 26 - 31, 2024  

      HG Week 2 - June 2 - 7, 2024

      Registration Opens February 1, 2024

       
       
       
    • Higher Ground is for students who are currently sophomores, juniors, or seniors in high school. This program is sponsored by the Diocese of Grand Island's Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry.

      Higher Ground is limited to 32 youth participants and 10-12 adult staff who gather in an informal atmosphere where they will build relationships of trust and have a lot of fun. This retreat is an incredible opportunity for students to grow stronger in their relationship with Christ while getting to know their peers from around the diocese. By the end of the retreat, students have a greater love for God and a new community of faith.  Participants are required to stay the entire week with the exception of an emergency. 

      The 2024 registration cost for Higher Ground is $345  with an early bird rate of $295 through February 15, 2024, which does include a $100 non-refundable deposit.  A late fee of $395 will be applied to any registration after April 15, 2024. All payments are made to the Diocese of Grand Island and are due by April 15, 2024.


      Higher Ground is held at Fort Robinson State Park near Crawford, NE. Transportation is the responsibility of participants, but if you need help getting to camp, our office is available to help coordinate rides.

      When a family plans to attend 3 or more diocesan youth events in the same summer, please contact our office to find out about our family discount (yya@gidiocese.org)  


      Refund Policy
      We understand that extenuating circumstances do arise and that your child may not be able to attend the youth event for which they have registered. If your child must cancel their registration, refunds will be offered within the following guidelines. Each event has a $100 non-refundable deposit; this amount cannot be refunded for any reason. All remaining fees will be refunded when the cancellation is requested prior to the event registration deadline. After the registration deadline, refunds will only be given in cases of family or medical emergencies. No refund will be applied if cancellation is within 15 days of the beginning of the event.
