Sports at Summer Camp
Summer
camp isn’t just a holiday destination for kids where they sit
around campfires and make s’mores. Sugar Bay
Resort, a
holiday camp specifically designed for kids and teens believes that
sport is a vital part of camp and should be implemented in every
camping program.
Their interest in sport is evident as they recently renovated a storage area into a beautiful indoor sports hall. The sports hall at the camp is twenty-five by fifteen meters in length and can accommodate two-hundred campers. It was also fitted with marked, sprung flooring which plays an essential role in protecting the growing bodies of young children from lifelong injuries caused by the energy generated over time by participation in sports. These injuries include shin splints, fractures, an array of knee problems, tendonitis, and ankle sprains.
It is estimated that there are more than thirty million obese children in developing countries, and, since Sugar Bay is located in South Africa, which is a developing country, they are doing all they can to promote sports at camp. With the sports hall built and in use, they are promoting more sports tours for school camps. Some of the sports offered in the sports hall at Sugar Bay include; indoor soccer, indoor basketball, indoor volleyball and indoor climbing wall.
One of the most costly sports venues created at camp, according to the Camp Director, Zoe Ellender, is the sports field. “Costly earth-moving equipment was hired to ensure perfection in this area during the construction stage of camp,” she shared. The sports field has become an integral part of every camp with a variety of sports being played there, such as; cricket, golf, hockey, rugby, and soccer.
On land at camp there are a variety of hiking trails, biking trails, skating ramps and designated areas for certain sports which include; BMX biking, basketball, netball, skateboarding and table tennis.
Sugar Bay Resort has private access to the beach and lagoon in the area of its location, Zinkwazi beach. At this location, they offer a variety of water sports such as; kayaking, stand-up-paddle-boarding, surfing and water polo. There is also a variety of field sports which they host at the beach, such as beach football, beach volleyball and much more.
There is no better exercise that works all your muscles better than swimming. This is a sport the camp is best known for. Sugar Bay has one of the largest pools in the village, boasting a twenty-five by twenty-five-meter length. Upon campers’ arrival, they are taken for a swim test which is compulsory in order to determine their swimming strengths and hence, the bodies of water they are capable of swimming in.
With all these sporting options and facilities, fitness at Sugar Bay is definitely given top priority. Send your kids to Sugar Bay and watch them staying fit whilst still having the time of their lives.
