The Polar Bear Plunge!


February 23-26, 2023


Here's an entertaining way to support the Four Winds Financial Aid Program: Our volunteer Polar Bears jump into an icy body of water, post a video of themselves jumping in that water, and you make a donation in their honor. It's a fun way to watch your friend, family member or colleague get really cold for a good cause!


All the proceeds go towards helping kids attend Four Winds * Westward Ho who otherwise could not afford full tuition.

To add to the fun, we have a friendly competition among our volunteers. Help the person you are supporting as they try to raise more money than their fellow volunteer Polar Bears.

Did you know?

Each year we provide Financial Aid to roughly 20-percent of our camper population -- or approximately 68 different kids.
