Prince George, B.C. – About 50 brave souls took the plunge at the Ness Lake Bible Camp this afternoon as part of the annual Polar Dip.Some came in costumes, some in  bathing suits, but  they all had one thing in common,  they were will  willing to  wade into the chilly waters of Ness Lake as part of the Bible Camp’s annual fundraising efforts.

Dan Hoffman was the top fundraiser, collecting more than  $2,000   in sponsorship for his ‘dip’.

The winner of the best costume for the event was Franzetto Sameit who  showed up  draped in a wolf skin.  This was his first  dip  in Prince George, but he has  taken part in similar events in the Okanagan

Below,  Franzetto  preps for  the dip,  then, the wolf  gets wet!

The water temperature was about 5 degrees,  and dippers stood in freezing rain  for their  opportunity to  get  drenched .
