"This I command you…Love one another." John 15:17
Higher Ground is a five-day Catholic youth program for those who will be juniors
or seniors in high school. This program is sponsored by the Diocese of Grand
Island Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry and directed by Kevin Fuller with Fr. Matt Koperksi as Spiritual Director.
The purpose of Higher Ground is to create an environment where Christian community
may be experienced. The activities provide an enjoyable opportunity for the young
people to develop a better sense of self, to build positive relationships with
others and to grow closer to God.
At Higher Ground, 20-40 participants and 10 adult staff, gather in an informal
atmosphere to have a lot of fun and build relationships of trust. The group is
encouraged to experience the joy of playing, praying and working together as
a community of faith.
The week begins at 7 p.m. MDT, Sunday and ends at 11 a.m. the following Friday.
The program runs three successive weeks, beginning the last week in May (Memorial
Day Weekend) at Ft. Robinson, near Crawford, NE.
The cost of the week is $150. The round-trip bus fare is $50.
Each week, a bus travels round-trip between
Grand Island and Crawford, stopping
along Highway 2.
Financial assistance is available on the basis of need, through the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry.
