Did your kids drive you crazy these school holidays?

The August school holidays are just around the corner, and Sugar Bay is definitely the best place to send your kids if you want them to spend their holidays productively outdoors, away from the telly & technology, and most importantly...not driving you mad with their complaints of boredom.

Our delightful music video, which was filmed during the July holiday camps, will show you why camp is guaranteed to bring smiles, friends & adventure to your child's holiday.

I am really excited about the themes I have planned for these August camps, as they offer something exciting and unique for Sugar Bay!

Here is a sneak peak of what your kids can expect when they join us these holidays.





Sugar Bay -  the sweetest place to be
The first camp's theme is Beacon Allsorts week (10-17 August), which will definitely fit well with all campers who have a sweet tooth.

Each day will be themed after a different type of Beacon sweet, from marshmallows to liquorish and even chocolate! These daily themes will also relate to the evening programs, which will have a sweet twist.

Some evening programs lined up:
  • Minute to marshmallow it
  • The chocolate sundae quiz
  • Candy land party night

Throughout the week we will also have the golden ticket competition. Remember the golden ticket from Charlie & the Chocolate Factory? The same concept, but at camp! There will be 6 golden tickets hidden in our tuck shop items for the week, and the lucky campers that find them will win a huge Sugar Bay hamper.

Another thing that we are all excited about for this week is the excursion. For those campers who chose to go, we will be going to the Beacon Sweet Factory for a South African Willy Wonka experience. And for those that give the excursion a skip, they will stay at camp and enjoy a sweet ski day!

Being a nerd is "in" this season
Over the years nerds have become more and more socially accepted, and they are even considered cool these days. I believe that this is partly due to television show like my personal favorite, The Big Bang Theory. And that is precisely the theme for the second week of camp happening during 17-24 August. This week is all about getting your nerd on!

We start the week off with our stay over excursion to the Science Centre, in which campers will get to explore what nerds really love... Science!


We will also have a camp out where campers will get the opportunity to sleep under the stars, which is an incredible sight in the quiet, little village of Zinkwazi. This will also include star gazing and some astronomy from our very own nerdy counselors.

Some other evening programs lined up:
  • Are You Smarter Than A Sugar Bay Counselor?
  • Super Hero prom night

Happy Birthday Sugar Bay!
Let's celebrate by getting Wet and Wild!
Sugar Bay is officially a teenager, and is turning 13 this August. Unlike regular camps, this camp is going to be 10 DAYS long, starting from 24 August - 3 September, and the theme is Wet 'n Wild week!

The campers who stay over from the previous camp will spend the day at Gateway enjoying the super tubes.
This week will be filled with fun surprises for all the campers to celebrate our birthday. 

The campers who have selected to go on the excursion will be going to to Ushaka Marine World to go and get wet and wild in the water park for the day. And the campers who choose to stay at camp will enjoy the Sugar Bay Birthday Ski Day.
Other events planned for the week:
  • Colour festival
  • Water carnival
  • Seniors: Bonfire on the beach
  • Juniors: Wild waters dunk

We will also be having super late wake up's for those of you who love to sleep in; and meals will be taking place in special places other than the dining hall.
To end off the week, we will be having a huge Sugar Bay birthday party, as we celebrate with water slides and much more.

5 Camp games to play at home

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
