Ness Lake Bible Camp getting ready for milestone Polar Bear Dip

Ness Lake Bible Camp will be holding its 25th annual Polar Bear Dip, with a unique addition.

The event has raised over $250,000 over the 24 years for the Camper Sponsorship Fund, making camp affordable for families and their kids.

Program Director Dayna Penson said it’s the biggest fundraiser they do for the fund.

“Over the last 24 years, we think it’s help over 1,000 kids come to camp so, it’s a very big deal.”

“We really look forward to this event every year, just because of the impact it has on families.”

Last year, around $35,000 was raised.

This year’s Polar Bear Dip, now reaching the quarter century mark, Ness Lake Bible Camp will be showing off some of the event’s history including a video with footage over the the last 25 years, and displays of previous t-shirt designs.

Prizes are also able to be won for both the top pledge raiser and the person with the best costume.

The entry fee is $35, with the event starting at 1:30 p.m., with the dip at 2:00, and ending at 3:00 on January 1st, 2026.

More information about the Polar Bear dip, registration and pledge forms can be found on Ness Lake Bible Camp’s website here.
