Life at the Bay

Kids’ and Teens’ summer camp, Sugar Bay Resort, is one of the only American-styled summer camps in South Africa and offers a variety of over one hundred activities to their campers. The activities are split into two different categories; Land activities and Water activities. Sugar Bay Resort tries to accommodate all types of campers with varying preferences. Land activities are offered at camp, usually on the premises and accommodate the campers who are not fond of being in the water, as well as those who are weaker swimmers. Most land activities are indoors, which makes them perfect to keep campers entertained on a rainy day. Here are the Top 5 land activities offered at Sugar Bay: 1. Bungee-Trampoline Bungee-trampoline jumping is the kids' favourite activity at Sugar Bay. Not only are trampolines fun to bounce off on, but, they are great for the physical fitness of both adults and children. Trampolines are used regularly by athletes such as skaters, dancers, divers, and gymnasts ...

Camp counselors have the most important role and are undoubtedly one of the most valuable assets to any summer camp. Their crazy, caring, fun and loving personalities are what campers keep coming back to camp for. However, their overly exciting and jam-packed schedules often leaving them smelling a little funky every now and then. Here are 5 things camp counselors smell like: 1.

It’s also rather sticky and is spread easily from one person to the next through body contact, which is why, through all the hugging and fun games, counselors end up smelling like a bottle of sunscreen. 2. Bug Spray You can’t expect to be in harmony with the bugs when you are invading their natural habitat...

Our campers love this craft because it is so simple to create, and the only difficulty you will be faced with, is waiting for the paper strips to dry before adding another layer and decorating. How to create a Papier Mache’ Vase: You will need: 1 Balloon White-drying glue poured into a bowl 1 Toilet paper tube Newspaper White tissue paper Paintbrush Acrylic paint in a variety of colours Embellishments (Beads, sequins, ribbon, etc.) Instructions: Blow up the balloon. Blow up your balloon and securely knot it at the end. Be careful not to over inflate the balloon. Tear the newspaper and tissue into strips and squares. Instead of cutting up the newspaper and tissue paper, it is better to tear it so that it may easily cover the curves of the balloon and will stick easily. Stick on the newspaper and tissue paper pieces. Using the white-drying glue, stick the torn...
