Southdowns spreads their contagious team spirit



It's that time of the week: a sneak peak on all the fun that's happening at camp this week.

 The Southdowns College grade 6's landed at Sugar Bay on Monday afternoon. Excitement was written all over their faces. This is their first time here, and they didn't know what to expect. Their minds are surely blown away by our cool counselors, exciting activities, the beach and a lot more FUN.
Can you imagine ninety eight children plus four teachers with amazing energy? This week is going to be an epic one at camp.
Beach fun - and it gets a whole lot better!

 First thing's first, campers were divided into their different cabin groups. They were already singing war cries at this point! Talk about team spirit!

Campers are treated to fun-filled activities everyday, all day. If they're not at the beach having fun in the sun - be it surfing, body boarding, kayaking, sea swimming or doing some beach craft - they'll be playing soccer, touch rugby, wall climbing, water rockets, skating, arts and crafts and a lot more.
At the night we made sure that these campers have the best memories to take home. Campers were entertained with evening activities which included, Minute to Win It game show and a treasure hunt. The evenings ended in song, dance and some magic tricks at camp fire. Best of all, we will definitely be ending our week in style with our party night. We're so excited!

Teachers get to have fun too!

Unfortunately we're saying goodbye to them on Friday morning. We are surely going to miss our Southdowns Campers! We hope to see them again soon.

We will miss our Southdowns campers
