Arctic Plunge
Arctic Plunge
Arctic Plunge
Friday, March 5, 2021 | First wave at 6 PM | At the Woodstone Recreation Center Outdoor Pool
Recruit a friend, family member, co-worker, or acquaintance & take the plunge to raise money for Therapeutic Adventures!
This event will be held rain or shine.
For our younger philanthropists or those less comfortable in deeper water, we offer The Arctic Splash. Take in a perfect view of the mountains before splashing and dashing your way through 2-2.5 feet of water to tag the wall and declare victory.
All proceeds will benefit Therapeutic Adventures, a non-profit that provides opportunities for those with disabilities, illnesses, and other health needs to experience the outdoors through camps, adaptive sports clinics, retreats, races, and service projects. During the winter season, they provide adaptive ski/snowboard lessons on the Massanutten ski slopes! For more info, visit www.taonline.org.
Cost
$25 per person. Participants are encouraged to raise additional donations for a chance to win prizes! Prizes will be awarded for most money raised (by individual & by team). Prizes will include WaterPark, ski, bike park and golf combo passes for Massanutten Resort!
Sign up for both the Arctic Plunge and the 4K on the Fairway for only $40!
