Review: August/September 2017 Holiday Camps

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 Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre in Durban, where they watched a hypnotist perform live.

Amazon week : 13-20 August

This week, 122 campers put on their camouflaged outfits and were well prepared to adventure in the world’s largest tropical rainforest, the Amazon. South African explorer, humanitarian and author, Kingsley Holsgate, made a special appearance at camp and educated campers about geography and conservation. He also shared many of his adventurous experiences with them. The campers enjoyed many fun activities integrated around the theme such as; How to survive in the wild 101, Survival Auction, Survival of the fittest, Save the Amazon Rain Forest, Ultimate Frisbee in the Rainforest, Brazilian themed dinner, Amazon Party Night and an Amazon River chill-out session. They also went on an exciting excursion to the Umgeni Bird Park in Durban, where they got to view and interact with a variety of bird species.

Emoji week : 20-27 August

Sending texts without emojis would be rather boring, which is why we held an Emoji-themed holiday camp, so that we could express our emotions all week with these cool and creative characters and 103 campers. Everyday campers would share how they felt by drawing an emoji up on our Emoji board. Campers participated in activities integrated around the theme such as; Giant Emoji Pictionary, Emoji Art Mixer, Emoji Creationary, Emoji Flags of the World and Emoji Party Night. They also went on an exciting excursion to 22 Jump Street in Ballito, where they got to have endless fun jumping on the variety of trampolines.

Sugar Bay Super Sweet 16: 27 August – 3 September

Sugar Bay turned 16 this year, and we celebrated by throwing a super, sweet sixteen bash all week long with 49 campers. Camp was gifted with a newly renovated sports hall which would accommodate indoor sports during rainy days, as well as an inflatable UFO water feature which would ensure campers had endless fun in the water. Campers enjoyed many fun activities integrated around the theme such as; Birthday Auction, Beach Bonfire, Musical Party Night, MTV Night, Night under the Stars, Dinner by the Campfire, Red Carpet Show Night, Halloween Prom Night and All Camp Pool Party. They also went on an exciting excursion to the Ushaka Marine World Aquarium and themed Water Park in Durban, where they had endless fun splashing in the water and going down the highest water slide in Africa.
