Staff Feature: New Captain Steers our Ship

After half a decade of steadily steering our Sugar Bay ship, we bid farewell to a darling duo; Sugar Bay's Tape & Paris. Thus, we announce the name of the new Captain who will be steering our ship.

Former Arts & Crafts Pro Counselor (PC), Aurora!
Our affectionate and gentle Aurora was promoted to Camp Programmer & acting Head Counselor. The Camp Programmer is responsible for the planning and organization of daily programs in all areas of camp (activities, meals, décor, etc). The Programmer also works alongside other staff members in the planning and facilitation of general camp functions. She had been under Paris's wing for almost a year and was finally given the opportunity to spread her wings and fly. And flying high is exactly what she's been doing as she carefully plans and programmes the activities scheduled at camp every week so meticulously. With big shoes to fill in her newly appointed positions, we are very confident that “Rory” will do a sterling job.


“Tape” (Kieren Horner), has been a part of the Sugar Bay family for almost 8 years. He started his career at camp as a counselor in 2008. His exceptional leadership skills soon led him to be promoted as the Head Counselor in 2012. Tape was an inspiration to many of his fellow counselors and simply adored for his witty character. 
 

“Paris” (Sasha Charnock), joined Sugar Bay in 2011 as a camp counselor. Her outstanding creativity earned her the position as the first ever Arts and Crafts Instructor at camp. In 2012, Paris was promoted to Camp Programmer because of her prominent passion for camp and commendable ability to multi-task. Paris was very flexible and could make great things happen on very short notice. Her enthusiasm and loving nature will never be forgotten at camp. 
 

We at Sugar Bay extend our gratitude to former Head Counselor, Tape, and Programmer, Paris for all the effort and love they had invested in our camp over the years. You will definitely be missed. All the best with your future endeavors! 

For all your staff queries, you can send an email to our acting Head Counselor, Aurora, via staff@sugarbay.co.za. To find out the finer details about our daily programs, you may also email Aurora at groups@sugarbay.co.za . Put a face to the voice you've been speaking to, check out the "Meet our staff" page on our website.
