Get to Know – Paris

 

Named after the city of love and beauty…

is our lover-of-pink and pretty camp Programmer, Paris! 

 

 

Paris has been at Sugar Bay for 5 years. 

 

Yes! That's half a decade! 

 

 

She started of as a counselor in August 2011, worked her way up to become the first ever Arts & Crafts Instructor and then got promoted to Camp Programmer a year later. 

 

Paris's favourite Sugar Bay activity is sea swim. She enjoys sea swim because it doesn't require any specialized equipment. “All you need is your costume and to head down to the beach. It's so much fun splashing around in the waves!” she said. 

 

Our “pretty in pink” programmer's favourite camp food is fish and chips. 

 

We asked Paris “What's the one thing people don't know about you?”

 
She replied:

“I may look like a Princess, but I love getting down and dirty playing soccer and riding quad bikes.”

Paris described herself in three words as “Happy, loving and spontaneous”, and that she is! 

 

Her favourite holiday camp was “The Hunger Games week.” “We had our own real-life Hunger Games, each cabin was their own District and on the final day of the games, a camper who looked just like Katniss, also from District 12 won. It was so unreal but so much fun!” said Paris. 

 

Paris also told us about who inspires her at camp:

“Tape! He was the first counselor I noticed at camp. He had such so much confidence, an incredible DJ voice and he was so funny! I wish I could make people laugh the way he does. He is the best head counselor we have ever had because he is wise and can help anyone be the best version of themselves.” 

 

Paris also told us that her favourite thing about camp are the waterslides. “Those things are the best thing that has ever happened to Sugar Bay,” she said. 

 

We asked Paris more about her role as the camp programmer:

“As the programmer, it is my job to make sure that every camper at Sugar Bay has an awesome time and wants to return to camp. From ensuring that we run the best activities based on the coolest themes to the yummy food we serve our campers, my job is to make certain that camp offers the absolute, best experience! I know my job is done when I hear about all the special memories that the campers have made during the week at the final camp fire. Many of our campers cry because they're sad to go home and most of the time its tears of joy due to the incredible memories they have made. I am truly so blessed to be apart of this”. 

 

We concluded our lovely chat with Paris by asking her “What would she say to anyone who has never been to camp before?” 

 

She answered:

“You have to try it! I am so blessed that I was given the opportunity to come to camp. You learn so much about life and yourself. Come to camp. You will never regret it!”
