Totally Wiped Out at birthday week



The final week of holiday camp saw our campers enjoy out of this world Wipe Out challenges.
We also celebrated Sugar Bay's 14th Birthday, which only proved that Sugar Bay campers do know how to party in style. Below are some of the week's highlights:


Monday
The first day of camp was a buzz of excitement, campers spent their days at the beach enjoying beach activities, bonding with their friends, counselors as well as creating new friendships and memories. The day wouldn't be complete without a delicious picnic later. Campers had a fun evening playing a game of Minute to Wipe Out, and enjoying the Wipe Out obstacle course.



Tuesday
Day 2 of camp was a frenzy of excitement as campers enjoyed an adventure filled day of beach activities like, kayaking, surfing and SUP (Stand Up Paddle Boarding). Land activities included paintball, skating and high ropes, to name a few. We even saw some campers "touch the sky" thanks to Space Jump, our bungee trampoline. The wonderful day was concluded with an evening under the stars at a beach bonfire.

Wednesday
We had our excursion to uShaka Marine World, and campers enjoyed a day of fun and slides with their friends and counselors. Campers that didn't join us on the excursion,  enjoyed a fun filled day of Sugar Bay activities, before all campers turned in for an early night.




Thursday 
  
A late wake up was exactly what the campers needed to tackle the busy day that laid ahead of them. After the buzz of land and beach activities, including some amazing moves on the surfboard, the night was topped off with an awesome Wipe Out water carnival; which saw some of our favorite counselors covered in slime.

Friday





 It's almost the end of camp, but there was still so much to do. Friday saw our campers run wild during our very own Colour Festival. Our campers also got the chance to design and decorate their own Sugar Bay birthday cake. What would Birthday week be without a party? Campers danced the night away at our California themed party, before enjoying a dance routine  and a fire show by some of our counselors and campers.

  












Saturday

Saturday was still a hive of excitement as campers enjoyed a day of Wipe Out activities. Sugar Bay's director, Zoe Ellender, shared some inspirational words to our campers before we all indulged in some delicious birthday cake. Happy 14th Birthday Sugar Bay!
