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. 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’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.

DAY 01

Welcome to Oak Lake!

Upon arriving at Oak Lake, you’ll check into your chalet. Your Tryp Leader will run a quick orientation of the resort and all amenities. Then, you’ll have the opportunity to observe  our Certified Guides take the ice plunge. We’ll debrief on their experience and set our own intentions for the weekend. Afterwards, there will be a group breathwork session to settle into the retreat. You’ll also have a chance to enjoy all the amenities throughout the weekend including a sauna, hot tub, yoga studio, fitness room, and firepits.

“Honestly if I could give more than five stars I would!”

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.

On our final day, you’ll have a second opportunity to take on the cold. Your certified guide will lead you through the breathwork and take each of you on a solo ice plunge. This is a very unique and intimate experience we encourage everyone to try. Afterwards, we’ll have some hot tub and sauna time - or perhaps a cozy board game in the tea room. In the late morning, we’ll debrief on our weekend experience and say our goodbyes before heading back home. Guests can checkout as late as 5pm if you’d like to extend your relaxation.
