How it all started

By the 40th anniversary of Roaming Shores in 2006, a new club was formed. The Polar Bear Club! This club was established to bring together brave individuals who were willing to take the icy plunge into the lake during the winter months. It quickly gained popularity as residents and visitors alike cheered on the daring participants. The Polar Bear Club’s annual plunges became a celebrated tradition, attracting more participants with each passing year. The sense of camaraderie and the thrill of conquering the freezing waters brought a new dimension of excitement to the community’s anniversary celebrations.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

The Roaming Shores Polar Bear Club shall promote the betterment of community by raising funds to support local organizations, activities, and the advancement of education.

OUR GROWTH

Every great journey begins with a story. Ours is no different. Established in 2006, we embarked on a mission to support children. What started as a humble beginning has since grown into a 501(c)3 federal nonprofit organization. Thanks to the hard work, dedication, and unwavering support of our team and community, we have been able to make a meaningful impact in the lives of countless children. We believe that every child deserves a bright future. As we reflect on our journey, we are grateful for the opportunity to make a difference, and we look forward to the continued support of our village, community in the pursuit of our shared goals.

In that spirit, we stand committed to fostering an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and contribute, and where the bonds of fellowship continue to grow stronger with each passing day. This is our pledge to Roaming Shores, a testament to our unwavering dedication to the well-being and prosperity of our cherished village.
