Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! May the luck of the Irish be yours! 

Confused? Don't check the calendar...it's Holidays Week at Sugar Bay! Christmas, Valentine's Day, Diwali, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Easter & Eid. The festivities just don't end, but that's not all...  
 The free excursion for stay-over campers to the Ballito Crocodile Farm was good, clean jaw-smacking fun. Campers got to learn how to stroke a croc's belly one way to make him sleep and another way to wake him up (the latter being a scary stroke towards his gaping mouth)!  
 Today, Friday the 13th (really) will be hard pressed to bring anything but good luck and fortune to all at camp. The beach beckons, activities summon the brave, the creative and the curious.  And another beautiful day comes to the Bay!  
On a final note, we would like to welcome back Alaska! She has rejoined the Sugar Bay family after an absence of 2 years.  "I am happy to be back", she said, "although it has been quite an adjustment for a seasoned councelor as so many changes have been implemented".  Of the improvements she mentioned, the new Health Centre stood out as well as the professionalism in the office. Famous last words; "You have the capability to be more than you ever thought". Alaska.
