Ness Lake Bible Camp polar bear participant Dave Horton donned a Stormtrooper helmet and carried a cardboard cutout as he to jump into the water in 2016. All money raised goes to camp sponsorship fund which allows children to attend camp who otherwise would be unable to afford it.

The Ness Lake Bible Camp will ring in the new year with its annual polar bear dip.

Set for New Years Day, it routinely draws more than 50 people ready to brave the cold and raise money for the camp in the process.

Check-in is at 2 p.m. at the Welcome Center - the log building in parking lot.

At 2:30, p.m. everyone will meet in the gym for a safety talk and to judge the costumes, then they're off to the lake.

Entry fee is $25, but that's waived for anyone who raises more than $25 in pledges.

There is also a prize for the top pledge raiser and the first 40 people who sign up get a T-shirt at no cost.

Costumes are optional but encouraged.
