What is Celebration?
Celebration is a youth rally that began in 1984 by a group of Christian men who wanted to have a spiritual event to build up young people by encouraging and helping them to be more spiritually strong. Since that time Celebration has continue to be a traditional event that takes place each fall at the Kentucky Dam Village. The first one was held at West Kentucky Youth Camp. Celebration has changed some with the times but the message still stays the same. The message of Jesus is annually preached to around 700 teens and sponsors.

Who is in charge?
Celebration is run by a committee of twelve Christian men who choose the speakers and the events that take place each fall. All of those on the committee are members of the churches of Christ.
Where can I go with my group during free time?
During Saturday’s free time you are free to leave the park with your group. Nearby LBL is 144,000 acres of wilderness paradise. Paducah is just a 30 minute drive with many great restaurants, and many groups enjoy bringing in food and playing board games and frisbee football in the park.
Who can attend?
Celebration is for 6th grades to 12th grades and chaperones. We realize that small children do come from time to time, but if they take up a seat we ask you to pay for them because seating is limited. The activities and content will be centered around the teens for the weekend.
