snowball mountain challenge

Vacation Bible Camp 2026

This summer, kids are invited to an exciting winter sports event where they become Challengers, gearing up for frosty games, snowy surprises, and hands-on lessons about resilience and faith. They will come to realize that with the strength God provides, they can share their gifts, be brave, give their all, pray, and hope.


Snowball Mountain Challenge VBC meets June 29-July 2 from 9am-noon.We are currently enrolling children four years old through entering 5th or 6th grade in the fall of 2026. (Students entering 6th grade can choose to participate or serve as an assistant.) There is no registration fee, but donations are greatly appreciated. Donations help purchase supplies for snacks, crafts, science experiments, and more! 


Classes have filled for 2026. Contact becky@countrysideumc.org if you would like to be placed on a waiting list. If you are a Countryside UMC family that was unable to register in time, please reach out to Becky for more information.
