It’s Saturday morning, the time is 7am and the early morning mist is staring to rise above the lake… it can only mean one thing…
— POLAR BEAR SWIM!🐻❄️💦
Imagine waking up before most of camp, choosing your favorite swimsuit, and heading to the pool for an epic morning adventure. That’s pretty much Polar Bear Swim, a firm Lake Camp favorite!As the name suggests, the Polar Bear Swim takes place before the pool fully heats up, adding an extra thrill to the whole experience.
Campers start off by jumping into the cool water and swim a whole lap across the pool. Once the lap is complete, the fun challenge continues — campers then have to pass a volleyball between each other three times. It’s all about teamwork and coordination, as you don’t want to miss that throw!
Then, it’s time for the really fun part… THE JUMP! Campers climb to the top of the rock wall, take a deep breath, and leap into the water below. The rush of excitement as you free-fall through the air is incredible!
After all the action, it’s time to celebrate everyone’s accomplishments with the BEST hot chocolate around and a cookie (or two!).Well done to all of our campers for taking part in Polar Bear Swim this week!
Legend has it there may even be an actual polar bear that pops up once in a while… 😱👀
