Check in at 7:30 AM on Friday in at the VFW
An Operation Snowball weekend retreat starts with a 7:30 AM check-in, at the VWF located at 908 Jackson Ave, Naperville, IL 60540. Participants from all 5 area high schools will get a chance to meet each other and play games before loading onto buses to a beautiful camp setting.

Enjoy a fun-filled weekend
The weekend will be filled with a mix of large groups, small groups, and workshop sessions that mix fun and reflection to inspire teens. Each event has its own theme, selected by the Teen Directors and created by the volunteer teen and adult staff. Each Snowball event is unique, and many participants come back season after season to help us create this community of caring!

Pick up at Camp from 12:30 to 2:30 PM on Sunday
Parents/guardians and families are asked to pick up their teens at NIU’s Lorado Taft Field Campus at 1414 N River Rd, Oregon, IL 61061,  and join us from 12:30-2:30 pm to learn all about what their teens have been up to. It is the tradition of Naperville Operation Snowball to include parents in the closing sessions of the weekend, where they may also experience some of the weekend’s activities and a little bit of Snowball magic!
