Your Guide to the Main Event

Check-in before you take the spotlight

All dippers must check in by 10:00 a.m. on Dip Day.

Check-in takes place at the Margate Resort from 8:00-10:00 a.m. on Dip Day. Schools with over 25 dippers in their Band of Bears are welcome to reach out to us to arrange a check-in site at your school.

At check-in, dippers will:

  • Complete a registration form (if you did not register online).
  • Turn in any cash and/or check donations along with a Cash Donor Record Form.
  • Sign a waiver, or if you are under 18, submit a waiver signed by a parent or guardian.
  • Receive your wristband to Dip and a guest wristband for access to the post-Dip Celebration in the ballroom.
  • Receive your basic Dip package and any additional incentives that you've earned.

We're excited to welcome many students, educators, and supporters to this year's Cool Schools Dip as we come together to celebrate inclusion and support Special Olympics New Hampshire athletes.

To help create the best possible experience for everyone, each registered Dipper will receive a wristband that provides access to both the Dip Area on the beach and the Wild Splash Bash in the ballroom.

Because ballroom space is limited and reserved for registered participants, additional guest wristbands will not be available. Friends, family members, and supporters are still encouraged to join us at the beach to cheer on Dippers and be part of the excitement.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping make the Cool Schools Dip such a memorable and impactful event. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Lights. Camera. Impact.
