2nd Annual Polar Plunge at YMCA Camp Ingersoll in 2016

Mark your calendars for January 16th! All funds raised go directly to helping kids have a life changing summer camp experience

We would like to officially invite you to participate in our 2nd Annual YMCA Polar Plunge held at YMCA Camp Ingersoll at Jobs Pond in Portland.

This fun and exciting fundraising event will help us continue to provide a quality camp experience to hundreds of children in the Portland area, regardless of their ability to pay. All proceeds from the Polar Plunge go directly to providing camp scholarships.

Our tagline, “What Would You Do To Change the Life of a Child” really sums up the importance of this event. By sending a child to camp, you are giving them so much more than time outside with a group of other campers. You are giving that child the gift of confidence, self-expression, friendship, memories, and adventure. A quality camp experience can be very meaningful and has the power to impact campers throughout their lives.

In order for this event to be successful we NEED YOUR HELP! Rally your friends and family, form teams, and challenge yourself to help change the life of a child. Complete the registration form (found here) and mail, fax, or email back to us right away so that we can announce your participation.

If taking the plunge isn’t right for you but you’d still like to donate, send us an email.
