Higher Ground II

Sign Up Now!




Higher Ground II is for those young people who have attended Higher Ground, or who are graduating seniors from High School (even if they haven’t attended Higher Ground). A special application with an adult recommendation is required because of the greater maturity expected of the participants. The program is designed to give the participants skills and experiences which will enable them to better live a Christian lifestyle of discipleship and service.

Higher Ground II calls participants to a deeper experience of prayer, Scripture and community interaction. The intent of this program is to help youth discover that the Church needs their gifts and talents. They are encouraged to reflect on their call to fuller participation in their parish communities and challenged to greater global awareness.

Higher Ground II is held at Camp Norwesca near Chadron State Park. There are two consecutive sessions, beginning the last week in May (Memorial Day Weekend). Each week begins Sunday evening at 6 p.m. MDT and ends the following Friday at noon.

The cost of the week is $150. The round-trip bus fare is $50.


2008 Higher Ground II Schedule:

May 25-30, 2008
June 1-6, 2008

Each week, a bus travels round-trip between Grand Island and Chadron, stopping along Highway 2.
Financial assistance is available on the basis of need, through the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry.
