Life at the Bay

The only thing cold about these past winter holidays was the ice-cream, but even the ice-cream was served with warm waffles. July camps saw some hot beats, warm waffles and some fiery french flavors. Pitch Perfect Beats Camp kicked off on a high note as we had our very own rendition of the famous musical movie,  Pitch Perfect . With a variety of activities; we ensured that there was something for everyone. For the young chef, there was the cooking club; for the rhythmic and upbeat soul we had camp DJs; the surf pros and beach bums could join the life guard/beach club; and finally we had our very own Barden Bellas and Treble Makers bringing acapella life to camp.  The excursion to the Barn Yard Theatre was definitely a camp highlight, where campers enjoyed the 100 Hits musical sensation. Another highlight was t he " Riff Off ", where seniors were split in groups of four and had the chance to share their favorite block busting musical tracks with other groups...

 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...

  "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...

Remember that one time when it was really really cold and nobody could ride their bikes or eat ice-cream? Well we don't, and neither do any of our Sugar Bay campers because every day is a sunny day here! We're celebrating our summer in winter madness with a little bit of France (ooh-la-la), a good dose of ice-cream and waffles, and we're singing winter to the curb at the top of our voices! Pitch Perfect Week (28 June - 5 July) Are your vocal chords at the ready? No?! Aca-scuse me? Fear not, a week of Pitch Perfect palooza will get you ready to sing your heart out. With this year's highly anticipated release of Pitch Perfect 2, we figured it was the perfect (haha, get it!) time to celebrate the aca-awesome movie that had us all practicing our do-re-mi's, singing into hairbrushes and attempting to make some sort of rhythm with a few plastic cups. Whether you're tone-deaf or already a daring diva, you're sure to have the time of your life...
