Just for Kids
Decorate-a-Polar Bear: Pick-up your Polar Bear "picture" when you register for the Plunge or at any of the participating retailers. As you travel around town you can complete your "Bear picture" and redeem it for a free plush bear. This activity is open to children and lasts all weekend, but we suggest you start on Saturday to ensure you have time to complete the activity (children may redeem pictures for stuffed Polar Bears at souvenir locations while supplies last until the completion of the Plunge).
A complete list of participating businesses will be given to you when you pick up your Polar Bear "picture."
Participating businesses (list will be continually updated): Creatable Crafts, Del Sol, Rehoboth Beach Library and Rehoboth Toy & Kite Company.
Ice Sculpting Contest: The Plunge weather the previous few years has been ideal for just hanging out on the boardwalk. Make sure your kids watch the talents of our ice sculptors as they shape a chunk of ice into a near real-life figurine. Sculpting will begin at approximately 10 a.m. on Saturday morning near the Bandstand on Rehoboth Avenue, with judging taking place at approximately 2:00 p.m.
5k Run/Walk: The second annual Run to the Plunge will be held on Saturday at 2 p.m. in Rehoboth Beach. This 5k event is open to the most serious runners, casual joggers and those just wanting to go out for a Saturday stroll for a great cause. It's the perfect way to spend the early afternoon as a family and work off those extra calories you'll then eat up during the chili contest.
