April holidays hit us with a firey bang!
Hello there everybody! Sorry I have been quiet for a while, but it's been crazy here at Sugar Bay. The last two weeks have been truly awesome, and legends have been created here at the Bay. I don't even know where to start?
Australian week started
with crocodile Dundee welcoming everyone to camp! The week was filled
with plenty of Auzzie moments, including camp-out which was a huge hit
this week. We had all our Australian campers head to Camp Out in our
very own Sugar Outback. Once there, they were met by Crocodile Dundee,
and they enjoyed a delicious braai potjie, and made smores! They then
sang songs and told stories around the camp fire and under the stars!
We even celebrated
Anzac day! This is a national day of remembrance in Australia that
broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders who served
and died in all wars. This night we had an old school party night
which was navy themed. We started with all the boys and girls on
either side of the hall, and then the flash mob began! What a
celebration it was.
The week ended off with
the biggest day of all, Auzzie Rule's Saturday. We had a
true auzzie barbecue for the afternoon and a huge pool party! We
finished the day off with a dinner which was themed, "Fairy Bread", which is a
yummy wannabe kangaroo stew and then of course lammington cake!
For the campers that
were lucky enough to stay for two weeks, they went to the Crocodile
Farm. Here they got to experience Australian reptiles,
and they also enjoyed a yummy lunch and returned to camp to meet
all their new friends for Fire and Ice week.
Fire & Ice week was the
big one, the one that made Sugar Bay history! One hundred and eighty
one campers in an April holiday camp has never happened before, so for
those of you that were here, you are all legends!
This week was one
of my favourites! At camp we had our beach and land PC's split up
into two teams! The beach represented the "ice" PC's and land represented the "fire"
PC's. The entire week was a battle to see who would take the title.
The royals of each team presented themselves to the campers and
taught them flash mobs that they would perform throughout the week.
The evening programs
were legendary. The juniors dunked Ice and Mr Freeze in lava slime.
The intermediates made epic ice-cream sundae's for their entire cabin,
and the seniors had beach bon fires and learnt how to spin on the
beach!
The main highlight for
this week had to have been the excursion to the ice rink in the
Galleria. Sugar Bay booked out the entire ice rink for the morning, and all
our campers got to skate with their friends. We all had a delicious Mc Donald lunch and Mozart ice-cream. It was definitely a long
day, as many campers were sleeping on the way back.
For the campers that
didn't go on the excursion, they also had a ball here at camp. The morning started with some
indoor land activities and then the afternoon was a Ski Day where
campers got to ride on the Snakee, which is a banana shaped yellow tube that
you ride on the lagoon.
My
favourite for this week was the all camp colour war! It
started off with the winners from the all week battle. Drum Roll
Please... The Ice team! As the winners, the Ice team got to dunk the
Fire team in blue slime! Then the games began! Campers ran around the
field and threw coloured powder at each other. It was beautiful.
Thanks to all the
campers that made it special! This week we are joined by Woodhill, so
I will give you an update at the end of the week on how it went!
For those of you that
missed out on these April holiday camps, there are more camps coming up in
June/July that are going to be crazy! We have Mr Price Pro Week, Rio
Week and So You Think You Can Dance Week.
If you guys are lucky, I
will spill the beans on what's to come ;)
