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 ;)

Remember it's your World! <3

Restricting the kids from being engrossed in technology can be very challenging. The best means of keeping them away from their lit screens all the time is by motivating them to participate in engaging activities. Getting the kids involved in physically challenging games is the best way to actually get them active and away from being consumed by their technological gadgets.    Here are 5 popular camp games that you can play with the kids at home:    1. Stalk the lantern Stalk the lantern is a game which was inspired by the army and typically played during the dark. Everyone needs to be dressed in black and have their faces painted, just as the soldiers camouflage themselves in the army. Divide the players into teams and select the same number as the teams to get representatives to form the lantern. The representatives are responsible for shining the flashlight on players in order to get them out of the game. The objective of the game is to get as close ...
