Camp CaPella Polar Dip is happening
DEDHAM
─ The Camp CaPella Polar Dip is one of the largest fundraisers of the year for the nonprofit summer camp serving individuals with disabilities. Camp CaPella never turns away a camper based on ability to pay, which means every dollar raised from the polar dip helps to send someone with disabilities to summer camp.
This long-standing event is traditionally held on Phillips Lake in Dedham and participants receive pledges to jump into the chilly lake water through a hole cut into the ice. COVID–19 has forced Camp CaPella to cancel most of their fundraising efforts, but the board and staff have been working closely to come up with alternatives for the polar dip.
