Plunge for a cause!

The Polar Plunge is back and with a cause!

What is the Polar Plunge?

The Polar Plunge is a fundraising activity for the Nature Navigator Van. You’ll dip into an ice bath for a maximum of 15 minutes. Once you’ve completed your plunge, you’ll warm up in the Hush Nordic Sauna, a mobile Nordic barrel sauna that provides the perfect way to recover from the chill.

Here’s how it works

There is a minimum plunge fee of $20.00 per participant, payable by cash or credit when you arrive. Pre-register online to secure your spot and avoid waiting in line—though walk-ins are welcome, wait times cannot be guaranteed.
