"Come have some tea with Miss Bubbles and me" - said by your 7-year-old, as they pull you in to sit on a miniature chair. It's 9:30PM, you're bushed and you're about to have tea with a teddy bear and the Queen of England herself. Spending uninterrupted time with your child has its infinite benefits and rewards, so what happens when you're swallowed by your work and life responsibilities that quality time with the Queen of England is unintentionally put on the back burner? Let's face it - life is busy, finding moments in your life to spend intentional quality time with your child is definitely a hard task as a working parent. And if not having enough time wasn't hindrance enough, you have to find something that you'd both like to do. Doubling the guilt for our poor parents. Creating childhood memories, formulating the idea of love with your child and getting to know each other a little better, are only a few of the amazing benefits of qua...

After a week of constant fun and laughter; missing items are probably the only (but major) “anti-climax” of camp. While campers return with a lot of exciting stories to share about their experience at camp, very few of these stories ever tell the tale of how that pair of jeans or takkies went missing. The loss of any item may be quite frustrating for any parent, especially if the lost property guidelines are not clear. Below are our guidelines detailing how we take care of lost property at camp: “ Counselors do not care about my missing items” Counselors take the utmost care to prevent items from going missing. On the arrival day we point out the Lost Property section and explain the lost property procedures. We also display lost property everyday after lunch before campers go up for siesta. At the end of everyday, counselors go around camp to round up any items that have been left out, and place them in the Lost Property section. “ Nobody helped me to find my it...

 Whew! Time really does fly when you're having a blast. We are already 5 days into camp, and with 2 more days remaining, we had to share the life changing fun that's been happening on our shores these past few days. Monday Campers kicked off the Monday blues with a trip to the beach where they spent the day making memories under the warm sun on the Zinkwazi shores. This pleasant day was rounded off by a perfect beach picnic with our awesome counselors. Later that evening, the juniors had a lot of slimy fun at their quiz night. Each group was asked a set of questions and the group that answered the most questions incorrectly had their counselor dunked in slime. The seniors had a musical evening as they headed down to the new sports hall for their "Riff Off" where they were split in groups of four and had the chance to share their favorite block busting musical tracks with other groups. This was indeed the best part of the night as we watched so many shy kids step ou...

We're sure that even in the time of the vikings they knew that pictures were worth a thousand words. Be sure to check out our Photo Album on Facebook for all the pictures of How To Train Your Dragon Week, but here's a quick snapshot of the week so far... As you can see there's been plenty fun in the sun with kayaking, beach games, dune jumping, sea swim and sand art. When they're not on the beautiful Zinkwazi beach, How To Train Your Dragon campers are enjoying paintball, high ropes and rock wall climbing, not to mention our epic evening activities.  So far our Junior Dragons have had a Dragon Hunt, Camp Out/Camp In and Dragon Training, while seniors have tried their hand at being the Ultimate Dragon Chef, had an epic Vikings Evening and also went to Camp Out/Camp In. A few seniors even undertook an Adventurous Journey as part of the prestigious President's Award. For more details, see here . If you happened to miss out on this April Holiday ...
