Life at the Bay

It's that time of the week: a sneak peak on all the fun that's happening at camp this week. The Southdowns College grade 6's landed at Sugar Bay on Monday afternoon. Excitement was written all over their faces. This is their first time here, and they didn't know what to expect. Their minds are surely blown away by our cool counselors, exciting activities, the beach and a lot more FUN. Can you imagine ninety eight children plus four teachers with amazing energy?

From an outsider looking in, it must definitely look crazy, but as a counselor, it's a dream come true. Two hundred brand new faces that are going to change your life in just five days, and become another beautiful memory. The campers from Constantia definitely brought their energy to camp from the very first day. We divided the group into three sections and were running beach, land and adventure activities every day of the week. There were campers everywhere!
