Reminders:
- Remember that a family group consists of at least 1 adult for every 7 youth. If you register additional youth, it is very important to list your congregation name and city as printed above so they can be properly added to your group. Please try to fill any cancellations. If it is necessary to cancel a participant’s registration, refund requests must be made in writing to the Nebraska District by October 31, 2025. All refunds will be considered on a case-by-case basis, as determined by the District Youth and Education Executive.
- Your registration fee covers one meal: dinner on Saturday evening. Some snacks will be provided, but groups are encouraged to bring along drinks and snacks that you can keep in your hotel room for breaks between meals. Breakfast is included on Sunday morning at all of the blocked hotels.
- Above you will find a map and directions. Also listed are restaurants near the hotel where you may choose to eat with your group before and/or after the Gathering.
- Upon arriving at the Gathering, it is requested that only ONE adult leader from your group go to the registration desk to pick up your group’s registration materials. Activities have been planned for the rest of your group and instructions will be given as you arrive. Park in the main lot outside Younes Conference Center South (this is NOT the conference center with the water slides). Enter the main doors and find registration in the lobby.
- All Gathering participants will join in worship on Sunday morning. An offering will be taken during the worship service. Proceeds will be donated to the Nebraska District Hearts for Jesus Mission Project: Children’s HopeChest. Learn more by visiting ndlcms.org/hearts-for-jesus-project/.
