A record 216 participants, including a family visiting from Mexico, took part in the 23rd annual New Year’s Day polar bear dip at Ness Lake Bible Camp on Monday.
The brave dippers raised $27,735.97 for the camp, with the top fundraisers being the Carol and Mark Stofer with $10,400, Prince George city councillor Trudy Klassen with $3,075 and Julianna Deweerd with $1,000.
Money raised from this event will go towards the camper sponsorship fund which makes camp possible for families who would otherwise not be able to afford it.
