Life at the Bay

Sugar Bay Resort, a holiday camp for kids and teens on the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal is popular for all their water activities offered at camp.    Situated on the coastal village of Zinkwazi Beach, warm climate and warm sea temperatures occur throughout the year, making water sport possible throughout every season. The summer camp also has private access to the Zinkwazi lagoon and beach, which is an added benefit.    Here are 5 of the most popular water activities offered at Sugar Bay: 1. Surfing   A number of campers have learned how to surf at Sugar Bay. The camp has trained instructors in every water sport, who are passionate about the ocean and the sport they teach. Often, kids come to camp terrified of water and leave camp qualified as a level 1 surfer. Surfing is taught at different levels in the lagoon, and campers receive certificates for completing each level of training successfully before they get to surf in the ocean. There is no ...

“Hey, hey, hey, give me a high five!” Heard that line before? Then surely you must have met Fives.    Fives is Sugar Bay’s Kayaking Pro Counselor (PC). Fives has been a counselor at Sugar Bay for 8 months now. He has told us that working at Sugar Bay has been a dream as he was very inspired as a camper because it changed his life and gave him a wonderful reason to pursue a career as a camp counselor.  Fives favourite activities are kayaking and skating. When we asked him what the best part of his job is, he responded by answering: “Chilling with the kids, chilling at the beach and being crazy weird of course.” Fives says the kids love him because of his weird attitude, loud personality, and humor which he is not afraid to express. Fives favourite camp meal is actually a dessert… He admits that he is deeply in love with the Peppermint Crisp Tart. Oh dear Fives… Finally admitting his guilty pleasures. LOL! Describing himself in 3 words, his choices were “fun, crazy...

The survival skills definitely continued well into the second week of holiday camp as campers arrived at the Capitol eager for an adventure filled week. Below are the highlights of the fun we had on our shores during the Hunger Games  week. Monday Campers kicked off the week with a trip down to the beach where an adventure awaited, graced with sunny skies, kayaking, surfing and beach art just to name a few. Later that evening after receiving a map and clues, our juniors headed off to District 1 to find some precious gems which they presented to the bidding war (aka our counselors). Intermediates headed to District 9 where they enjoyed an educational evening learning and having fun with grain. Our seniors strut their stuff in an amazing fashion show, let's just say all fashion skills were sharpened to impress the judges. Tuesday The fun continued as campers enjoyed a beautiful day of land and beach activities. Campers got to climb walls, zip line and showed off some...

  At Sugar Bay, the sweetest memories are those wonderful recollections we have of the best moments of our lives. These are often created when we allow ourselves to just BE. This seemed to be the motto for these vibey young campers from Thembalisha Preparatory School. Tucked away in the north-eastern corner of the Kingdom of Swaziland in the Lubombo Lowveld, this school is neatly situated on the Royal Swazi Sugar Corporation Estate and a home to the most energetic little people. Sugar Bay had an awesome taste of Swaziland as we welcomed our Camp buddies on the 26th of May 2015 for their school camp on our sunny Bay. The atmosphere was immediately filled with a cheerful spirit as these energetic Campers went about exploring what was to be their new home for the next 3 days. All geared up with war cries, eager spirits and really cool teachers; these buddies were all set for a wonderful memory-filled camping experience with fun as the center of it all. One could t...
