Life at the Bay

Turning 18 may be daunting for many teenagers as it means they are stepping into adult-hood which is often accompanied by a long list of responsibilities. Before that list of responsibilities makes its way over, Sugar Bay has a bucket-list of exciting and fun things your children can do before “growth” kicks in.  Go camping - while this has no age limit, the things you can do and explore while spending the night under the stars are ENDLESS! 2 .

Although yesterday was actually National Hedgehog Day, Sugar Bay counselors Lucky, Pepsi, Iron Brew and Hamster spent the day trying to get hold of some different four legged friends: our friendly escape-artist pigs Snap, Crackle & Pop ! And after much running around, giggles, squeals and oinks, we managed to secure a pic: Pepsi with one member of the new Sugar Bay trio Our curly-tailed friends arrived on Friday afternoon and have been excitedly exploring the Sugar Bay property ever since. We bet they're trying to get clued up on all of the activities available to them in their new home! We hope to show them off to our Grade 5 visitors from Clifton Prep when they arrive for fun in the sun on Wednesday. And hey, who knows, maybe someday the Sugar Bay beach will become the next Big Major Cay , an island in the Bahamas completely inhabited by pigs!  Swimming pigs in the Bahamas Until then, keep it oinky my friends and remember, It's ...
