Roaring Moments on Sugar Bay's Jurassic Jungle

What would you do if you, an awesome group of friends and counselors were to get lost in a real Jurassic jungle exploring the lives of massive dinosaurs and possibly being the ones to save the earth again by finding the most dangerous Tyrannosaurus Rex? This week's campers were prepared to make finding this massive carnivore a rooooaaaaring experience! These are just a few highlights of our lives in Jurassic World...
Monday

Nothing like a full day on the beach to bond with your mates and prepare for a hectic week of adventurous fun. Our day on the beach and lovely picnic definitely had us amped for the week ahead, preparing us for a fun search. We took part in cool beach activities and a bit of yoga to keep us calm and collected after a crazy dinosaur building moment. Our fantastic day was rounded off with exciting games with our awesome counselors.
 

 

 Tuesday

After a long day of climbing walls, zip-lining through the jungle, facing our fear of heights in high ropes, almost touching the sky (thanks to the King Swing) and doing a whole lot of awesome stuff, it was time for some wet and slimy fun.With eyes blind folded, the only thing we could rely on was team work and our hands to search through a slimy concoction to find a few tiny missing dinosaurs (yes some dinosaurs are cute and deserve to be saved). While finding the missing dinosaurs in record time was really exciting, the best part was bonding and working together as a team.






Wednesday

Little back packs packed and faces lit up with smiles, our trip to the Natal Lion Park was definitely the highlight of our week. Who would not be delighted to take a scenic trip to the Lion Park with their favorite people.  We had the chance to see the beauty of nature which properly emphasized the importance of preserving wildlife. We rounded off our day with a trip to Gateway where we watched Jurassic World while we bonded with our counselors and campers. After a long day of adventures and fun, an early bed night was definitely in order.
 



















Thursday
Determined to find this carnivorous saur that had been said to cause so much havoc on our Bay we gathered with some awesome paintball warriors and our brilliant instructor Raven was there to lead the way. We were so certain we would find him but it turns out we had our work cut out for us. The search continued into the evening, where we had an evening of fear factor to test our deepest fears (apart from this T-Rex of course). This session taught us that sometimes you have to go through some sour awful tasting moments to get to the sweetest parts. Besides who wouldn't want to snorkel in liters of coke to find the missing dinosaurs and be considered a champion by their cabin for being a step closer to saving and restoring the sweetest memories at Sugar Bay?




















Friday
After we received an anonymous tip on the possible where about of the T-Rex, we saddled up and took a ride around Zinkwazi. Even though we weren't lucky enough this time, our awesome escapade was definitely worth it. Then of course it would not be a Friday without a bit off music, dance and TONS of fun. We rounded off a week of hard work by heading over to our Safari themed party room where we busted a few moves and enjoyed our favorite tracks. We wrapped up an awesome week with a spectacular fire show from our super cool counselor Lucky.







Saturday
6 Days into camp and the fun still continues, although we are saddened that it's almost coming to an end we are definitely making the most of our last days. Now we know the big question on everyone's mind is whether or not we found the T-Rex? Well let's just say we spotted him somewhere around camp but realized that if it wasn't for his sudden 'disappearance' we would not have had such a ball at camp. We also learned that our big old pal Rex does not cause any harm if there are people on site, our presence alone was enough to save the Bay. This is probably a good thing because we have the perfect excuse to persuade mom and dad to let us come back for some sweet sweet memories (and of course to save our favorite place)!

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.
