BRANSON, Missouri – Billed as “The Ultimate 3-Day Youth Event,” Silver Dollar City’s Young Christians’ Weekend (YCW), April 5-7, is designed to bring youth groups together in Branson, Missouri for three days of worship, learning and fun at one of America’s Top 10 theme parks. 

Starting in 1975, YCW has gained momentum with hundreds of thousands of youth having attended over the years, culminating in an approximate annual attendance of 15,000 attendees as it enters its 45th season.

This year’s lineup of Christian recording artists includes American Idol Top 7 finisher Colton Dixon and contemporary group After Grace performing in Echo Hollow Amphitheatre; three Saturday concerts featuring Grammy and Dove Awards Nominee Britt Nicole, along with Citizen Way and speaker Travis Rosen, contestant on American Ninja Warrior; and two Sunday worship services with eight-time Grammy nominee Matt Maher, North Point InsideOut and a message by Joe White, President of Kanakuk Camps.

Young Christians’ Weekend is one of the longest-running and largest-attended events of its kind in the country.  Along with concerts in Echo Hollow, workshops and Christian music are available throughout the park on Saturday.

• Workshops for youth and youth leaders are offered throughout the day on Saturday, with topics including Have You Forgotten Your Incredibly High Value in the World Today, Sexted (Social Media Risks), Aim Small Miss Small, 5 Needs of Young Christians and We Don’t Have To Be Afraid.
