Mid Winter Dip - Plimmerton Kindergarten

This great community event will be held Sunday 18 June 2017 at Karehana Bay at the north end of Plimmerton. There will be lots of entertainment, food and fun for all the family.

Entry is by a gold coin donation on the day.

“It's the perfect time to show how tough you are and do something out of the ordinary … most of our kindy children take part, and nobody wants to be shown up by a three-year-old.”

All registered Dippers go into the draw to win spot prizes from our fabulous sponsors.

Dippers are encouraged to dress up in fancy dress - if you are crazy enough to run into the sea in the middle of winter, then you are certainly crazy enough to dress up in the middle of the day! There will be prizes for best dressed male, female, kid and group as a further incentive.

From 11am on the day, there will be numerous activities for kids, including a beach dig and a sand castle competition.

Stalls will be open from 11am onwards selling a variety of items, including hot sausages, warm soup, warm BLT sandwiches, tea, coffee, and cake.

There will be raffles open to all. The main raffle will have awesome themed prize packs consisting of items generously donated by our sponsors. Tickets for this raffle will be sold by kindy parents in the weeks leading up to the Dip.
