About this Event
Be Bold, Start Cold!
Dive Into The New Year with the Pyka Plunge
Join us at Mukilteo's Lighthouse Park for the Annual Cold Water Plunge
What's a Pyka Plunge?
It's Kula Cloth's version of a Polar Bear Plunge to celebrate the New Year AND a way to raise funds to send kids to camp with the Bronze Chapter!
Join us for a quick dip in the bone-chilling waters of the Puget Sound to celebrate the New Year and all of the opportunities it presents. This year, we've teamed up with The Bronze Chapter to support their mission to transform the outdoor experience for communities of color throughout Washington State.
What to Expect:
- A Toasty Fire, Hot Drinks and S'mores on the Beach
- An Invigorating New Year's Day Plunge into the chilly waters of the Puget Sound
- A Chance to Win Outdoor Gear in Our Drawings
- A Silent Disco Dance Party Complete with Tutus, Crazy Outfits and a few surprises
- A Great Start to the New Year!
Ways to Support the Pyka Plunge!
Join us in the water or watch us from the beach while sipping warm drinks around a toasty bonfire! This is a FREE Event but we encourage you to make a donation if you'd like to send kids to camp. Here are a couple of ways that YOU can support the Pyka Plunge:
- Take the Plunge: Join us in the water - it's free and it freezing!
- Stay Dry and Watch from the Beach: Cause your not crazy enough to get in that water.
- Make a Donation: This is a FREE event, but we'd like to encourage you to make a donation of whatever feels good to help send kids to camp!
(Proceeds from the Event will be split between The Bronze Chaper and The Kula Academy for scholarships to send people to camp)
Join us in the water*!
*Please pre-register for the event so that we know how many people to expect.
Bring a towel and warm clothes to change into.
The fun starts at 1pm at Mukilteo State Park (609 Front Street, Mukilteo, WA) . We’ll have a toasty bonfire, S'mores, Hot Chocolate and Hot Cider, and a few snacks. As with any Kula Event there may or may not be a few surprises.
Here is what we suggest if you decide to take the chilly plunge with us:
- A warm towel… or maybe two or three.
- A change of clothes (you really don’t want to drive home cold and wet -- trust us)
- A thermos for coco or other warm drinks
- A warm hat
- Some gloves and hand-warmers
- Extra socks
- Your sense of humor
- Your common sense (and maybe some for us)
- $ for parking or a warm cup of soup at Ivars for after the plunge
- And a costume if you’re up for it.
W here we'll meet:
609 Front St, Mukilteo, WA 98275
At the fire pits closest to the Boat Launch
*SOME THINGS TO THINK ABOUT:
- If you have heart problems or other serious medical concerns, we recommend that you consult your healthcare professional before taking The Plunge or better yet… just watch us from the beach. Seriously… we won’t have a lifeguard or medics on duty. It’s up to you to keep yourself safe.
- Don’t drink alcohol – it doesn’t warm you up, it accelerates hypothermia.
- Do NOT plan on staying in the water for very long... less than 5 minutes. You lose body heat 25 times faster in water than in air.
- Keep your outer clothing on until you’re ready to get in the water. After the plunge, remove wet clothing before getting into dry clothes.
*WARNING: People with a family history of stroke, aneurysm, blood pressure problems, hypertension, or sudden cardiac death should cheer us on from the beach. This is an enter at your own risk event.
