Survival of the fittest at Sugar Bay's Capitol

The survival skills definitely continued well into the second week of holiday camp as campers arrived at the Capitol eager for an adventure filled week. Below are the highlights of the fun we had on our shores during the Hunger Games  week.

 Monday


Campers kicked off the week with a trip down to the beach where an adventure awaited, graced with sunny skies, kayaking, surfing and beach art just to name a few. Later that evening after receiving a map and clues, our juniors headed off to District 1 to find some precious gems which they presented to the bidding war (aka our counselors). Intermediates headed to District 9 where they enjoyed an educational evening learning and having fun with grain. Our seniors strut their stuff in an amazing fashion show, let's just say all fashion skills were sharpened to impress the judges.

 Tuesday
The fun continued as campers enjoyed a beautiful day of land and beach activities. Campers got to climb walls, zip line and showed off some dance moves in the dance class. Later that evening the juniors headed for camp-out where they had some fun with ropes. The adventure still continued for our awesome campers that chose camp-in as they spent an eventful afternoon with a trip to the citrus farm and later got to paint and Tye-dye some t-shirts.An awesome day was rounded off with a test of team work at quiz night and some bonding moments around a bon-fire at the beach.
Wednesday

Wednesday evening activities bought a lot of fun at camp, Juniors headed to District 2 where they split up into districts to compete for the ULTIMATE DODGE BALL DISTRICT. Intermediates made the way to the District of Agriculture where they played the popular game of Tag - Hunger Games style.Seniors had a choice of extensive hunger games training and some indoor hunger games training. Campers who headed off to camp-out gained a range of skills namely in; fishing, starting a fire or making dream catchers. The campers who opted to stay in worked together to make delicious sushi plates and ended the night off with a movie at the theatre.

Thursday
This day was all about "pimp my ride" Sugar Bay style. Juniors got to pimp out their rides by decorating their trolleys with some really cool stuff. Intermediates headed out for a night of adventure to camp-out where they had fun with ropes and a choice of different activities such as searching for diamonds in the sugar cane (Which we hope they found). The less adventurous campers enjoyed a pamper night in making masks using natural ingredients as well as enjoyed some manicures and pedicures, and since not all boys are into this, they showed off their their amazing soccer skills with a game of indoor soccer. Seniors headed to District 12 which is famous for livestock where they enjoyed an educational evening learning about livestock.

 Friday
As the week drew to an end, campers were treated to a 3 course meal fit for a king for dinner and afterwards we danced the night away in the beautiful Capitol party room. After the party, campers were treated to an amazing fire show by some of our campers and awesome counselors.



Saturday 
On Saturday we hosted the 75th annual hunger games, chosen campers participated in 12 districts each testing their strengths in different areas while their teams cheered them on in the stands. This definitely proved that great team spirits and sportsmanship go along way in motivating others. The games continued throughout the afternoon where District 12 was crowned as the winner of Sugar Bay Hunger games. This week proved that the odds were definitely in our favour!
