Jump in the Lake 2026


Make a splash for Haliburton County Food Banks

The Jump in the Lake Challenge is BACK for 2026! A peer-to-peer cold plunge fundraiser fighting hunger & poverty across Haliburton County!

How does it work? Plunge into cold water solo, or with a team, and raise money in the process! You can take your plunge from your dock, local beach, ice bath or any other cold water you can find!

We are challenging YOU to take the icy plunge and do something BOLD for your community.

Pick Your Charity!

Register for the challenge to support your organization of choice.
