These campers made Sugar Bay history, and so could YOU!


The day was young, the sun still on its way,
The making of history was on the cards today.

With backpacks full and water at the ready,
They started their journey, slow and steady.
Armed with sleeping gear, headlamps and plenty of rope
Our two brave campers, also known as Nikita and Hope...

Hiked on the beach to learn something new
And reminisced on surfing yesterday with Iron Brew.
They did some team-building, and they walked even more,
Comparing notes on how to make the perfect s'more

Although much easier to just catch a cab,
They hiked on regardless, along with Tropika and Tab.
Eventually our campers saw a clearing ahead,
"Thank goodness" cried Nikita, "I'm ready for bed!" 

They crafted a shelter, and they made a warm fire, 
But soon our adventurers began to tire.
They took to their beds for a good long rest,
For tomorrow they’d need to be at their best.
 
As morning broke they took up the oar,
Ready for action, ready for more.
With Dave the Fearless leading the way, 
It turned out to be an amazing day.

They’ll never be the same again,
The Adventurous Journey milestone finally attained
They've left Sugar Bay with a sense of pride
Along with their Bronze Level and a smile wide.

Now it’s your turn to take the next step,
And we’re giving you plenty of time to prep.
Are you ready to sweat for your reward?
As you aim and achieve the President's Award.

Never heard of the President's Award? Don't worry, we've compiled plenty of information for you right here and here. If your camper would like to complete the Adventurous Journey here at Sugar Bay, see our website for details.

Here's a sneak peak into what the camp experience at Sugar Bay is like, and if you would like to see what takes place in some of our themed holiday weeks, have a look at our gallery.
