What is Gasper on the Go?

Since we were not able to have summer camp at Gasper River Catholic Youth Camp, we created Gasper On the Go! This will be a three day experience of day camp in your towns! Led by two different Gasper River staff teams in two different cities each week, we will have two daily sessions from Tuesday through Thursday one in the morning from 8:30 am to 11:30 am for incoming 3rd through 6th graders and an afternoon session from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm for middle and high school aged youth. We will play games, have arts & crafts, sing songs, learn about our faith and have tons of fun! The cost is $75 for the first tier or $65 for the second tier. Please pay what your family can afford. Any additional immediate sibling will only cost $50. All campers will receive a one of kind Gasper On the Go! t-shirt and a camp photo. We will adhere to all state requirements for safety for day camps for Gasper On the Go! Click HERE to register or call our office at 270-781-2466 if you have any questions. We can’t wait to come see you this summer

In addition to Gasper on the Go, we will be offering family retreats at Gasper River this summer. Bring your family out just for the day or stay a night or two! There are many options available. You can book a lodge, bring your own meals or have Gasper provide meals (catered), hike and explore, do activities, or just enjoy God's creation together. Call or email our office to make a reservation or to get more information and pricing details.

We are Hancock County Catholic Youth.  Here you will find news of upcoming events for our youth and photo albums.

The Youth Ministry Program follows the goals of the USCCB document Renewing the Vision by providing opportunities for education and spiritual growth thru classroom gatherings, retreats and service projects.  We help our youth experience the bigger church through diocesan and national events such as Owensboro Diocese Youth (ODYC) Conference, National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) and more.    

As outlined in the USCCB document Renewing the Vision: Three interdependent and equally important goals guide the Church's ministry with adolescents.

• Goal 1: To empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today.
• Goal 2: To draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the Catholic faith community
• Goal 3: To foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person. 

 "You are the future of the world, you are the hope of the Church, you are my hope!"
-St. John Paul II to youth during his Installation Ceremony, 1978

"Dear friends, faith is revolutionary and today I ask you: are you open to entering into this revolutionary wave of faith?  Only by entering into this wave will your young lives make sense and be so fruitful!" - Pope Francis at WYD Rio de Janeiro, 2013
