What is Snowball?
Snowball can be described as the best parts of summer camp packed into one weekend! It’s a retreat that is planned and led by teens that will give you the chance to connect with students from all over the Chicagoland area. With support from Response staff, our Teen Leaders facilitate a weekend full of fun activities and interactive workshops on topics that are important to you, including diversity, leadership, healthy relationships and social justice. This year’s theme is Masquerade – a time to take off your “mask” to reveal your true self and find your inner strengths!
You will leave Snowball Weekend with:
-Stonger leadership and team building skills
-Greater knowledge of the social issues that impact youth today
-A toolbox of ways to make healthier life choices
-Lasting connections with teens from diverse backgrounds!
