POLAR PLUNGE

Save the date: January, 25, 2013!

Looking for a new way to start the New Year with A SPLASH? Come join the Camp Kekoka staff on January 5, 2013 for our 3rd annual POLAR BEAR PLUNGE!  This unlikely event has brave participants of all ages plunging into the frigid waters of Indian Creek to raise money for the Guardian Program, a scholarship fund which ensures every child gets to experience Camp Kekoka regardless of their ability to pay.  What better way to start off the New Year than by jumping into the freezing creek to give a kid a Camp K week?!

Plungers and sponsors are invited to warm-up afterward with hot soup, hot chocolate, and other assorted goodies.

To join the plungers, sponsor a plunger, or for more information, phone (804) 435-3616 or email cassie.leichty@peninsulaymca.org.
