Sugar Bay - The Year in Review

 

Sugar Bay Resort, has had a pretty eventful 2016. 
 
We kicked off this year by completing our much-anticipated teacher’s cabins and achieved a three-star rating from the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa. Our exclusive teacher’s cabins have now been located in a tranquil setting with a view of our vast sports field.
The cabins boast superb facilities such as a private deck with loungers and a heated pool, teacher’s lodge with wifi, relaxation lounge with television and multimedia facilities, private dining area and verandas, and communal kitchens with honesty bars. The bedrooms have been individually and meticulously styled with integrated themes, hand painted artwork and antique furniture. Comfort and convenience have been prioritized, with white Egyptian cotton linen, tea/coffee facilities, laptop safes and ensuite bathrooms with showers. Now we don’t just have happy campers, but happy teachers too.

We cater for all age groups at Sugar Bay, and this year our seniors were very fortunate, as we decided to give them their very own private senior deck. The senior deck, overlooking our football field and close to the swimming pool area is a magnificent gathering area reserved especially for our senior campers. This deck is often used for special senior events and casual socializing and “chilling sessions”, just as our seniors would call it.
One of the greatest highlights of the year was celebrating our camp’s fifteenth birthday. It’s Sugar Bay’s tradition that camp gets a new present on our birthday every year, last year we received the bungee trampoline and this year, we went all out to give our campers exactly what they asked for. Our camp was gifted with another spectacular addition from our directors, three brand new, custom made, extraordinary waterslides. 
 
Overall, we had a sweet 2016 as we celebrated fifteen years of providing our campers with what they have described as “the best camp experience in the world”. We’ve had some exciting themed holiday camps this year, a total of twelve thus far. Some of our favourites were The Maze Runner week, Nitro Circus week, and Splash Birthday week.

During the Maze Runner week themed holiday camp, we turned Sugar Bay into the Glade. We had our campers running from Grievers, and we even went on a thrilling excursion to the Crocodile farm in Ballito, and on a themed “a night in the maze” camp-out. Nitro Circus week had our camper’s adrenaline rushing. A major highlight of this week was our excursion to indoor trampoline arena, Jump for Joy and the exclusive, live X-treme Motorcycle Exhibit by the Le Rice brothers. We certainly had our campers “on the edge” this week. The best camp, however, had to be during our Splash Birthday week. We officially initiated our waterslides, splashed away and celebrated with cake and parties all week long. 
 
We plan to end 2016 and step into 2017 in style. We’re looking forward to four more incredible holiday camps these upcoming December and January school holidays. 
 
Upcoming Sugar Bay Holiday Camps:
• Finding Dory week: 9-16 December 2016
• Candy Land week: 16-23 December 2016
• Outrageously Crazy week: 27 December – 2 January 2017
• Blast from the Past week: 2-8 January 2017

All in all, this year was marvelous! Here’s to more success and even sweeter 2017 at Sugar Bay.

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.
