Welcome to the Arctic Splash!
WHY JUMP IN LAKE VERMILION IN FEBRUARY?
Because it's fun, benefiting a great cause, and you have the chance to win prizes! In 2012 over 200 onlookers watched as plungers made their way to the icy water hole to benefit the United Way of Northeastern MN's three youth initiatives: Buddy Backpacks, Smiles Across MN – Iron Range and the Imagination Library. More than $13,000 was raised through the Arctic Splash.
Participating in the plunge is easy, (really, it's not that bad). As an individual jumper or as a team, you will collect money from sponsors (a.k.a. those too chicken to jump) and take the plunge, preferably in costume because it makes it that much better to watch. After the plunge you can retreat to the sauna and heated tents to change and enjoy the rest of the day's festivities up at BayView Lodge.
