    • 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 35 youth participants and 10-12 adult staff who gather in an informal atmosphere where they will have a lot of fun and build relationships of trust. This retreat is an incredible opportunity to grow stronger in your relationship with Christ while getting to know your peers from around the diocese. By the end of the retreat, you will have a greater love for God and a new community of faith. This year the week begins on Saturday afternoon and ends the following Thursday morning. Participants are required to stay the entire week with the exception of an emergency. 

      The 2023 registration cost for Higher Ground is $250 which includes a $100 non-refundable deposit. We are offering an early bird rate of $225 through February 15, 2023. A late registration rate of $300 will be applied after April 15, 2023. The registration deadline is May 1, 2023.

      Higher Ground is held at Fort Robinson State Park near Crawford, NE. The cost of Higher Ground remains the same for 2023 due to a grant from Catholic Extension.  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.


      Communications
      Please note that all communications relating to diocesan youth events are through email. You will receive a confirmation email upon registration, if you do not find it in your inbox immediately, please check your junk file. If the confirmation email is not received, please contact us.

      Additional communications relating to this camp will be sent approximately 3 weeks prior to the start of the camp. Please check your email and junk mail regularly for these communications.
