Spring 2026 Operation Snowball:

The Snowball retreat is a 3- day, 2-night event with Speakers, Workshops, and Small group discussions!

Operation Snowball fosters connections, cultivates self-care, and builds community. Teen Snow Staff will lead the group in exploring their potential and empowering each other to create a positive impact!

For more information about the schedule check out the Retreat Info page or our event schedule. Registration will open in January. Pre-registration helps us plan for this upcoming event and holds your spot at camp!

  • A limited amount of financial aid is available and can be requested as part of the registration.
  • Registrations after 03/20/25 will not guarantee that their requested shirt size, or dietary requirements will be met, as the the camp requires this information by that date in order to prepare for the event. If you would like to discuss those needs in order to find a solution so that you can still attend, please call Kate (630-447-9276)!
