Get to know - Pecan


No, he didn’t arrive during Peanuts week, but he was named after a nut. We call him Pecan! 
 
Pecan has been a counselor at Sugar Bay for 8 weeks now and we must add, the campers are nuts about Pecan! Pecan is our Paint ball PC (Pro Counselor) and loves paint ball to bits. 
 
He says the best part about his job is seeing the smiles on all the kids’ faces while they’re participating in all the activities they enjoy. Pecan says what he loves most is that the kids arrive here as strangers and when they leave camp, they leave as friends. 
 
Pecan’s favourite camp meal is fish and chips. He says, “It’s the best fish and chips I’ve ever eaten in my life!”

 
If he could have one super power, it would be for him to stop time, simply to savour the best moments in life. 
 
Describing himself in three words, Pecan’s choices were “Tall, outgoing and energetic”. 
 
If he could be an animal, he says he would choose to be a wolf. Why? “Because wolves are team players. They fight for the ones they love and for themselves,” he said with a smirk on his face. Smart answer Pecan, smart answer. 

 
 





















Pecan admitted that he gets the inspiration to be the best counselor he can be from his fellow couselors, Lollipop and Sangoma. “They are both such good counselors. They’re always doing their best and are always willing to help”, he said.

Here's more about our Paint ball Pro, Pecan!

Stalk the lantern Stalk the lantern is a game which was inspired by the army and typically played during the dark.

The representatives are responsible for shining the flashlight on players in order to get them out of the game. The objective of the game is to get as close ...
