Like the Energizer Bunny, We Just Keep Going...

At Sugar Bay we know about energy. Like the beautiful Indian ocean on our doorstep, the energy ebbs and flows in our little piece of paradise: increasing with the arrival of new students and decreasing with sad farewells to new friends. As an office dweller, you can always feel the positive energy on the days when campers are due to arrive. From the moment the school bus drives through those beautifully branded gates, the excitement is almost overwhelming.

You can sense that the kids are eager to get off the bus, it's pretty clear that the teachers can't wait for a well-deserved break and to get those kids off the bus, and our counselors just can't wait to welcome them all!

The energy simply soars, almost as high as the local fish eagle family nesting near the Zinkwazi lagoon (more on them in another post!) Did we mention that we have private access to that lagoon? We get to go fishing, stand up paddleboarding, kayaking and more, but I digress... Each and every school gets an unbelievable welcome as soon as the bus doors open. Our Sugar Bay staff introduce themselves one by one in true Sugar Bay Energizer Bunny fashion and BAM, campers have a new set of friends and role models, just like that. 

We don't need Red Bull or Monster Energy drinks, we've got your campers. As soon as they're here it's all systems go: fun fun fun every minute until bed time. And then there's happy dreams and early morning beach activities to start the day right - soaking in all of that feel-good energy from seeing the sun rise over the ocean. Then it's onto another day jam-packed with adventure, sampling some of our 100+ activities. 
This week's lucky visitors are from Durban North Primary School and Durban Girls College. Two schools, one camp, and a hundred stories of "this one time at Sugar Bay" still to come...

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.

Stalk the lantern Stalk the lantern is a game which was inspired by the army and typically played during the dark.

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 ...
