  "Without music, life would be an error"  - Friedrich Nietzsche                                           Holiday Camp is finally here! This season kicked off on a high note as we welcomed our campers from all over the country on Sunday. After weeks of excitement and preparation, the counselors were anxious to make sure that they provided our camp buddies with the best welcome to Barden University (the sunny skies and pleasantly warm weather made this a lot easier!). Inspired by the popular movie Pitch Perfect; the best words to describe our theme this week are absolute aca-awesome musical madness. In this movie,  college life is made up of nothing less than acapella and total musical fun! The atmosphere was immediately filled with voices of exciteme...

We've been so busy popping molecules, busting myths, camping out and geeking out that we've only just noticed that it's already Wednesday! Which means it's time for a quick recap of the week so far, and since a picture is worth a thousand words (ooh - is that another myth to test?) ... here you go! Myth #1: Blue icing makes every cupcake taste better...   Looks like this one is CONFIRMED! - - - - - Myth #2: A surfboard will not work as a makeshift guitar for super divas.  They seem to be doing just fine...

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 ...

Are you getting that s i n k i n g   feeling of sadness when you see all the fun going on at Sugar Bay's Rock the Boat Week ? Fear not, young sailors, we're about to fix your Fear Of Missing Out with a snapshot of fun... we want you to feel like you're right here involved in all the action, so here goes our little trip down memory lane so far this week. Remember that time... Iron Brew was waiting aboard the Rocking Bubble Bus? And then Zibu took time out to look like a merman version of Abraham Lincoln... Remember when we were assigned to our cabins? Can't believe that was only on Sunday, it feels like we've known each other forever already! How about that time we invented a new way to ride a BMX, that was epic! Or when we got our Dracula on, sherbert-straw style?  It's hard to believe it's only Tuesday and we still have 4 full days to make even more memories! Don't be sad about missing out on all the fun t...

We're getting ready to host a Myth Busters Week here at Sugar Bay, where campers from all over the country will get together to bust some of the long-running myths and mysteries about their favourite place on the North Coast, Sugar Bay Holiday Camp. While planning which magical myths we'd take on in the name of science, we came across some widely-spread myths about summer camps and thought "Hey! Ain't nobody got time for that! Parents need to know the truth!" Which is why we're here to bust 4 of the many myths about summer camps. Sure we may not be well-moustached and wear lab coats like our geeky Mythbusting friends on the Discovery Channel, but we do have scientific studies to back us, years of experience and photographic evidence to boot. We'd like to show you the value of summer camp and why you should let us explode your camper's mind (with fun!) Myth #1: My Child Won't Be Safe If I'm Not There Thousands of children pass throug...
