Our body art class, one of our arts and crafts activities at Sugar Bay, has become a hit with our campers creating some original and innovative designs. From different textures, styles and colours; the art of henna has definitely become a sensation amongst our campers. Henna is a fun and exciting way for bonding and relaxing with your kids. Here are some tips on how to get started : 1. Wash the area you plan to tattoo.     Removing oils and grime from the concentrated area will ensure the henna stains correctly. 2. Practice on paper first.      Because henna will last between one and two weeks, it's best to develop a technique before                      applying the paste on someone's skin. 3. Don't get lost in the grand scale of things.     Start small, too big a project might uninspire you. Fun facts about Henna :  Henna (called   mehndi   in Hin...

At Sugar Bay Resort, we offer two types of holidays; a holiday camp and a school camp/tour. Our holiday camps are typically held during the holiday period whilst schools are on break, at least four times in a year. Our school camps/tours are held throughout the year and typically host both local and international schools out of peak holiday periods.  Sending your child to Sugar Bay on a school camp, however, isn’t the same as sending them to a holiday camp. There’s a misconception between the two, whereby, parents assume that their kids have reaped all the benefits that the complete Sugar Bay experience has to offer during a school camp. A school camp/tour is merely a taste of what can be experienced during our holiday camps, where the opportunities and fun are endless. Here are 7 differences between holiday camps and school camps/tours: 1. The Leaders During school camps/tours, learners are accompanied by their headmasters and educators. This sometimes leaves kids ver...

  These days, putting pen to paper and writing a letter has become a rare and daunting task. People have become so conformed to sending emails and texting from their mobile devices, that writing a letter the good old - fashioned way seems to have become too time-consuming and complicated.    At Sugar Bay Resort, a holiday camp for kids and teens, we challenge both parents and campers to write letters to one another the traditional way.    We allow our campers to write a letter to their parents on the third day of camp. These letters are then scanned and emailed to parents, opening the door of communication between parents and their children at camp. We distribute the replies to our campers on the fourth day of camp, which gives parents a day to compose a reputable letter to their little ones.    However, the replies are often very formal and lack the gist of a meaningful letter. Although you’re receiving these letters via email, it...

The camp experience is recognized by child development professionals as valuable in helping children mature socially, emotionally, intellectually, morally, and physically. Camp activities and communal living in a natural environment are some of the tools used to provide for successful and healthy psychological development. At Sugar Bay Resort, children’s self-confidence is strengthened daily through challenges integrated into their program. These challenges enhance learning and provide a feeling of belonging and contributing, which are vital factors in the building blocks of self-esteem. An example would be a drama production. In this activity, campers work in groups and have no choice but to socialize with one another to achieve success as a whole. Not only are they building their social skills, but also their self-esteem by practising their skills on a daily basis in order to produce a perfect presentation. Working in a team provides moral support and encourages children to be ...
