Life at the Bay

After a week of constant fun and laughter; missing items are probably the only (but major) “anti-climax” of camp. While campers return with a lot of exciting stories to share about their experience at camp, very few of these stories ever tell the tale of how that pair of jeans or takkies went missing. The loss of any item may be quite frustrating for any parent, especially if the lost property guidelines are not clear. Below are our guidelines detailing how we take care of lost property at camp: “ Counselors do not care about my missing items” Counselors take the utmost care to prevent items from going missing. On the arrival day we point out the Lost Property section and explain the lost property procedures. We also display lost property everyday after lunch before campers go up for siesta. At the end of everyday, counselors go around camp to round up any items that have been left out, and place them in the Lost Property section. “ Nobody helped me to find my it...

It's the second week of holiday camp and our camp spirits are still on an all time high. After 7 days of musical madness, we thought it would be fitting to tone down all that musical energy with some warm, fluffy waffles and ice-cream.                                                                                                           Sunday Campers were immediately introduced to Belgian Waffle Town as they were welcomed by the sweet aroma of soft, fluffy waffles a...

 Whew! Time really does fly when you're having a blast. We are already 5 days into camp, and with 2 more days remaining, we had to share the life changing fun that's been happening on our shores these past few days. Monday Campers kicked off the Monday blues with a trip to the beach where they spent the day making memories under the warm sun on the Zinkwazi shores. This pleasant day was rounded off by a perfect beach picnic with our awesome counselors. Later that evening, the juniors had a lot of slimy fun at their quiz night. Each group was asked a set of questions and the group that answered the most questions incorrectly had their counselor dunked in slime. The seniors had a musical evening as they headed down to the new sports hall for their "Riff Off" where they were split in groups of four and had the chance to share their favorite block busting musical tracks with other groups. This was indeed the best part of the night as we watched so many shy kids step ou...

  "Without music, life would be an error"  - Friedrich Nietzsche                                           Holiday Camp is finally here! This season kicked off on a high note as we welcomed our campers from all over the country on Sunday. After weeks of excitement and preparation, the counselors were anxious to make sure that they provided our camp buddies with the best welcome to Barden University (the sunny skies and pleasantly warm weather made this a lot easier!). Inspired by the popular movie Pitch Perfect; the best words to describe our theme this week are absolute aca-awesome musical madness. In this movie,  college life is made up of nothing less than acapella and total musical fun! The atmosphere was immediately filled with voices of exciteme...
