Review: December 2016/January 2017 Holiday Camps

We had four awesome holiday camps these past December/January school holidays at Sugar Bay Resort. From underwater adventures, to a trip back in time, we did it all!

Finding Dory Week: 9 - 16 December 2016

 
We went on an extraordinary underwater adventure this week with 171 campers, all in pursuit to find Dory. Our camp portrayed the “under the sea” and “California Beach” theme fantastically with floating fish, colourful coral and blue waves decorated all over our main hall. Some of the highlights of this week were the “Beach Party Night” and “A School of Fish Talent Show”. The campers also went on an exciting excursion to Ushaka Marine World, an aquarium and water park where they got to see the special “Finding Nemo/Finding Dory” tank.

Candy Land Week: 16 – 23 December 2016

 
Sugar Bay got super sweet during Candy Land week and the camp was turned into the Candy Kingdom. We had 140 sweet-toothed campers with us this week who made the most of the sugary experience; playing “Candy Construction”, taking “Sweet-Making Classes” and participating in the Sugar Bay version of the “Candy Land” board game. We also went on an excursion to the Gateway Theatre of Shopping where campers went bowling, gaming in the arcade, played indoor soccer and enjoyed splashing down the waterslides.

Outrageously Crazy Week: 27 December 2016 – 2 January 2017

 
Things were turned inside out and upside down this week as the whole of Sugar Bay went “Outrageously Crazy”. This camp was one of the most sought after camps due to it falling over the New Year period. We accommodated a whopping 202 campers with us this week. One of the highlights of this week was “The Outrageously Crazy New Year's Eve Party”, where we stepped into 2017 Sugar Bay style, with fireworks and a fabulous get-together. We also went on an insane excursion to Jump for Joy, an indoor trampoline park where our campers got to go mad and experience the “Outrageously Crazy” theme to the fullest.

Blast from the Past Week: 2 – 8 January 2017

 
We travelled back in time and had a “Blast from the Past” with 172 campers during our final school holiday camp. This week, our campers got to re-live some of the ground-breaking eras of the past. We brought back to life the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's themes and showed our campers what the meaning of “Golden Oldies” is. We also explored some ancient cultures as we went on an educational excursion to the Shaka Land Cultural Village, where our campers learned about the History of King Shaka and the IsiZulu Traditions.

Restricting the kids from being engrossed in technology can be very challenging. The best means of keeping them away from their lit screens all the time is by motivating them to participate in engaging activities. Getting the kids involved in physically challenging games is the best way to actually get them active and away from being consumed by their technological gadgets.    Here are 5 popular camp games that you can play with the kids at home:    1. 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. Divide the players into teams and select the same number as the teams to get representatives to form the lantern. 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 to the lantern as p
