We’ll rise right at the crack of dawn and meet in the tea room for fresh coffee. Our Certified Guides will lead a breathwork session to prepare for the sunrise ice plunge. They will guide and support you through the entire process. You will be amazed at your strength and connection with your body upon exiting the water.

After some free time for breakfast, we’ll take a wooded walk with breathwork exercises included. You’ll have plenty of free time to enjoy the amenities and relax. Later in the day, we’ll meet in the yoga studio for a sunset yoga session. For dinner, we’ll enjoy a community potluck followed by a giant bonfire under the stars.

How Tryps Takes The Plunge!

Do you ever feel like you need to unplug from your routine, take a break from the screen, and connect with yourself and nature? This is exactly what this experience is all about, and you’ll be in good company of other like-minded adventurers. Ice Plunge is a weekend escape of cold therapy in the serene surroundings of a wooden chalet along frozen waters of Oak Lake, Ontario. 

With Certified Guides, you will practice cold plunges in a frozen lake; an ancient Nordic practice which has many health benefits like reducing inflammation, lowering stress levels, enhancing injury recovery, and developing mental awareness/control! You will set your own personal goals as you embrace the cold, indulge in breathwork sessions; all of which will result in great increases in your dopamine and endorphins. 

You’ll get to enjoy the amenities on site which include rejuvenating saunas, a soothing hot tub, a yoga studio, a red light therapy room and cozy fire pits. This is not just a getaway; it's an opportunity to revitalize your body, connect with like-minded individuals, and embrace the therapeutic benefits of cold immersion out in nature.
