2026 LJCC POLAR PLUNGE
February 21, 2026
Are you ready for the 4th annual Polar Bear Plunge?!? What is a Polar Bear Plunge? Individuals will raise pledges to jump into the frigid waters of Lake James to raise money. Our Polar Bear Plunge is not for the faint of heart. Those courageous souls, (some might say crazy) who splash their way into icy cold winter waters 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. Everyone is welcome to come fellowship, eat snack foods, sit by a warm fire, and watch some crazy people jump into the frigid water! We are sure to have a great time as we help students come to know Christ better this summer! SCROLL DOWN FOR DIRECTIONS.
We are gearing up for our 2026 Polar Plunge Fundraiser! Part of getting ready for this event is accessing the camp's needs. Through this assessment we have come to the conclusion that due to YOUR generosity, we have enough funds to provide campers with scholarships for the next TWO YEARS! Stepping out on faith, we have decided to keep 2026 summer camp rates the same as 2025 rates. We want you to join us in faith to help us accomplish that!
With that being said, all proceeds raised for the Polar Plunge will go towards our Bridge the Gap Fund. This fund is what enables us to keep camp affordable for all campers! The Bridge the Gap Fund quite literally bridges the gap of what it actually costs to run a camp session versus what we charge per session. There is a gap between those two numbers. This fund fills in the gap to help sustain and propel LJCC into the future!
We want to thank everyone for their generosity from last year's Polar Plunge. You are the reason we are able to bless our camper families with this decision!
