Hints for Jumpers |
 |
| The jump
is at 2:00pm but arrive early |
 |
|
A SHUTTLE SERVICE WILL BE AVAILABLE TO AND FROM THE
PARKING AREA. The jump itself will begin exactly at
2:00pm - but get there by 12:30pm for registration, assignment
of a jumper number and to turn in all donations. *You
cannot jump without a number. T-Shirts will be given to
all jumpers with $100 or more in donations. **There
will be NO registrations after 1:40pm** |
|
| Protective
footwear |
| |
|
Wear something on your feet, i.e., old tennis
shoes or "aqua socks," etc. to prevent cuts
on your feet from the ice and to prevent your feet from
sticking to the snow and ice on shore. |
|
| Warm Clothes
and boots after the jump |
| |
|
Have warm/dry change of clothes and shoes/boots
to put on once you get out of the lake. A Fleece works
great as a base layer.
|
|
| Blanket
to sit on and a towel to dry off with |
| |
|
Bring a towel and old blanket to put down somewhere
by the shoreline to use as a seat before/after the jump.
You could learn the hard way by getting your swimsuit
frozen to the ground with you in it! |
|
| Do you
wear glasses? |
| |
|
If you wear glasses, we suggest you obtain an
"athletic strap" or something similar to hold
them to your face, or not wear them at all! It is quite
difficult to find glasses that have been dropped in the
water. |
|
| Set up
camp |
| |
|
Once you get to the park, find a place for your
blanket and stuff this will save you mass confusion
at the last minute and give you a fun photo opportunity
|
|
| Enjoy |
| |
|
This is a fun event for a good cause so once you have
your spot, their will be T-shirts, food, coffee, and
hot chocolate for a small donation. |
|
| Savor
the moment |
| |
|
Finally, when your jumper number is called, the jump
will be over before your goose bumps know what hit them,
so savor the moment out in the lake in front of
your fellow Polar Bears - "High Fives" and "Loud
Cheers" never feel so good and you've got 365 days
until next time! |
