Bold plungers take a dip in the lower lake at Camp Lutherlynn Saturday morning, Dec. 7, 2019, for the organization's fourth annual Polar Plunge fundraiser. Volunteers had to break the ice on the lake with a kayak before the event. Participants raised over $13,000 for the camp's annual fund. Proceeds go to camper scholarships and other camp programs and maintenance. According to organizers, it was the first year the lake was ice covered.
