5 Reasons to send kids to summer camp solo

Image
Children are always stressing their parents about whether or not their friends will be attending summer camp with them. Most kids actually miss out on this incredible experience if they cannot be in the company of their buddies. This is unfortunate since there are so many benefits and opportunities that come with attending summer camp solo.    Here are 5 reasons why you should send your kids to summer camp solo: 1. Learn new skills solo The opportunity to learn new skills is always gaping at summer camp. However, it’s greater when you send your child to camp by himself/herself. When you send your children to camp solo, they are forced to try out multiple new things by themselves, without the influence of a friend.

One of the greatest concerns parents have, is based on what their kids are being fed at sleepover camp. Summer camp requires kids to be energetic and on-the-go all day long, therefore, kids need to be well-fed and eating fresh, healthy and balanced meals every day. Having been running successfully as a holiday camp for kids and teens for the past sixteen years, Sugar Bay Resort has specially designed their camp menu to serve fresh, healthy, balanced and hearty meals on a daily basis.    After some research, we have compared Sugar Bay Resort’s menu with other summer camps in the area and here are some interesting things that were noted;    Breakfast Menus: Breakfast is undoubtedly the most important meal of the day, and, at Sugar Bay Resort, campers are spoiled for choice. The camp works on a three-course system for breakfast and dinner. For example, there would be a starter option of cereal/yogurt/porridge/oats, the main course would be a warm meal such as bacon and whole e

The Directors had a longing to renovate this space in order to accommodate outdoor sporting activities indoors on rainy days. The sports hall has been fitted with beautiful, marked sprung flooring, 25 by 15 meters in length and will be perfect to host a multitude of sporting activities and campers at once.    The new indoor sports hall will feature the following activities: Indoor climbing wall Indoor basketball Indoor soccer Indoor volleyball Indoor ultimate Frisbee In the pipeline: Senior Gym for A

We bid farewell to winter and promised that our August holiday camps were going to be amazing, and we delivered. We hosted four holiday camps which hosted a total of 351 campers. We stepped into spring in style as we always do, however, this year, by celebrating our super, sweet sixteenth at Sugar Bay!    X-Factor week : 6-13 August We rolled out the red carpet and gave all our 77 talented campers a platform to showcase their talents this week at camp. We hosted our very own version of the X-Factor, called the S-Factor at Sugar Bay, where campers competed for the ultimate prize of a free holiday camp to Sugar Bay. Our Sugar Bay Superstar was Shawn Li, who won the judges over with his spectacular break dancing. The campers participated in many fun activities integrated around the theme such as; Capturing the X-Factor, Lip Sync Battles, Carnival night, Karaoke, The S-Factor Show and a Red Carpet Party night and Awards evening. They also went on an exciting excursion to the Eliz
