What is a Polar Bear Plunge? Individuals will raise pledges to jump into the frigid waters of Lake James to raise funds for the Treesh Scholarship Fund which enables campers to attend camp. Our Polar Bear Plunge is not for the faint of heart or the very timid. Those courageous souls, (some might say foolish) who splash their way into icy cold winter water, can claim they are 'freezin' for a reason". This event will definitely bring warmth to your heart, as well as a chill to your toes. With fellowship, snack foods, a warm fire and some crazy people jumping into the water, we are sure to have a great time as we help students come to know Christ better this summer.
