Team DMS

In 2008, a group of enthusiastic teachers formed the Dumbarton Polar Bear Plunge Team.  In just two years, the team has expanded to over 40 Plungers and raised over $7000 to support the Special Olympics Maryland, “the state’s largest year-round organization devoted to sports training and competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.”


By raising a minimum of $50, our teachers, students, and parents have an opportunity for a life-changing experience by taking a quick dip in the Chesapeake Bay, while learning a valuable lesson about supporting our diverse community and having FUN at the same time!

Change from Last Year:

Designed exclusively for schools participating in the Cool School Challenge, Frigid Friday offers an alternate activity for school groups.  Frigid Friday is alcohol-free, and the smaller crowd will also make it easier for teachers and chaperones who are responsible for managing large groups of students.
