Life at the Bay

He's the boy Avril Lavigne sings about in her smash hit Skater Boy and he is exclusive to Sugar Bay camp... His name:    Javelin is our very own skater boy who is days away from celebrating his second anniversary working here at Sugar Bay as a camp counselor. We don't mean to brag or anything, but he is no ordinary counselor... he has earned his way to become a Sugar Bay Pro Counselor (PC). Although he loves skating, Jav is also a great lover of the ocean. If he isn't skating, he would be doing sea swim. When we asked him why, he said that it's because you'll never know what's coming your way. Unpredictable much, we do however wonder how he'd react if a great white shark decided to come along and chill with him during sea swim. L OL! When we asked Jav about his role as counselor, he was quick to answer “Being a camp counselor is not just work to me, working with kids is my passion – it's a...

Sugar Bay is excited to announce that we have launched our very own series! If you're wondering if this is another sequel to the Vampire Diaries or Gossip Girl... Ooops, you've got it wrong.

  “Beds were assigned, clothes and bathroom things were passed out, dinner was served. Pizza. Real, bona fide, greasy-fingers pizza.” Even we licked our lips when we read these sentences in James Dashner’s The Maze Runner Novel.

  So, this Sunday Sugar Bay will be transforming into the glade and will be the host to many Maze Runners. We are super excited! So much so, that we have decided to help you Get-the-“Maze Runner”-Look before you get to the glade. Get your suitcases out and let’s pack to become Maze Runners!  Girls: Army colours and shades of grey is the palette we are looking at. A worn out and rugged look is what we’re aiming for.  We can still be fashionable when dressing up to be a Maze Runner. Let’s start with flat, rubber soled boots, hop into grey stained denim shorts and a thin sleeveless cotton vest. And there you have it! Any look to this effect would do you justice as a specialized Maze Runner or should we say Runner-ess?  Guys: Shades of neutral browns and greys are where we’re headed. We want to maintain a camouflaged look but still keep it classy.  Ankle high leather boots with ...

And, because we’re cool, and oh-so-a-maze-ing, we’ve decided to share some cool facts about the Maze Runner with you.  Want to know what goes on behind-the-scenes of “The Maze Runner”? Let’s unlock the secrets behind the mysterious maze:  1. Dylan O’Brien almost didn’t get the role as Thomas   In the book, Thomas is described to be a 16-year-old boy, 5’9″ feet tall, and has brown hair.
