Be the best surfer ever - just have fun!

"The best surfer out there is the one having the most fun" - Duke Kahanamoku

When I started planning Mr Price Pro Week, this quote really inspired me. Duke definitely said it right.

For those of you who have been here before, you will know that the #1 rule at Sugar Bay is to have fun! Throw in some new surfers and you have what Mr Price Pro week has turned into.

This week at Sugar Bay we have been teaching our campers all about what it takes to become and professional Surfer. We started the week off with teaching the campers surfer lingo! They then went on to spend the ENTIRE day at the beach - the campers even got to eat lunch on the beach!

The junior campers got to build their very own mini surfboard in our treasure hunt, in which they had to find the supplies. Next up was the “mini surfers in training” evening program where they had to complete four challenges in order to prove they are a mini surfer. These challenges included, balancing with the Bosu Equipment, duck diving on the trampoline, learning inner peace in the yoga workshop and finally, practicing on the mechanical surfboard.

The seniors have also really had a wild surfer experience. They started with the Shore Shack cook off where they put their surfer chef hats on. Then they were treated to the good life as they enjoyed a sunset bubble bus cruise on the lagoon and a bonfire on the beach.

This week was a very special week, in honour of our surfer theme we had an all-night camp out on the beach! Campers got to play stalk the lantern on the beach, have a yummy dinner, eat smores and sing songs, and then finally sleep under the stars, in the sand and right next to the sea.

For the campers that were not ready to face beach camp out they were treated to a massage workshop at camp. Surfers need to keep their muscles happy so we showed them how to do it correctly. With the help of our masseuse, Miss Sue, they were all calm and relaxed by the end. They have all been told to go home and practice on they moms and dads. Your welcome mom's and dad's.

But the week is not over yet! We still have our Surfers Paradise Party night tonight, and the the crazy surfer Olympics tomorrow, where our campers will be put to the ultimate surfer test.


I hope this week at camp has really inspired all our campers to take their surfing to the next level. Who knows, one of them could be surfing for South Africa one day with a Sugar Bay rash vest on!


Catch up with me next week, when I tell you all about what happens at our next camp during Rio week! We will be welcoming all the campers to Rio in Brazil, and celebrating the Fifa World Cup!

Remember it's your world <3

From Paris with love

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 to the lantern as p
