Life at the Bay

  Just like the creator of Adventure Time, Pendleton Ward, we love BMO! Or Beemo rather, which is how Finn and Jake pronounce and spell this adorable little gaming box's name. Inspired by our Adventure Time themed camp, and Beemo of course, we have decided to show you ho to create a BMO Phone Pocket which you can place your phone in and leave at home before camp begins, so we can begin our very own adventure with you at Sugar Bay. You will need: Black Felt Light Blue Felt Medium Blue Felt Dark Blue Felt Lime Green Felt Yellow Felt Red Felt Ruler Black Cotton Thread Fabric Glue Needle Scissors Water Soluble Marking Pen One Button Method: 1. Measure both sides of your phone using the medium blue felt.

  Adventure Time week is what's on our agenda at Sugar Bay this Sunday. We are so excited and cannot wait for camp to transform into the land of Ooo. Our campers will be going on an adventure with us and with Finn and Jake too. We're going to have so much fun and play so many games with lots of cool Adventure Time things for us to do. Adventure time is pretty awesome... that's why we decided to kick off the first school holidays with this theme. But before choosing this theme, we had to research it, and you'll never believe what we found! Take a look at these 5 Facts which we are certain you never knew about Adventure Time. 1. The title sequence reveals a lot   Just like a detective searching for clues... we found out that all the answers to every adventure Fin and Jake has is actually revealed in the title sequence... You can hear keyboard typing in the theme song - from Princess Bubblegum's amulet hanging on t...

It's no secret that Sugar Bay loves the sea - the sun, the sand, the seashells, pretty much everything that spells sea! The sea breeze and the sound of the seagulls too. So we've been so inspired by the sea, that we have decided to share something sensational with you... How to make a seashell wind chime:   You will need: Go on a sea sighting adventure where you should search for the following: Seashells (Variety) String/Fishing Line Beach log Eye Bolts Large Beads Hammer Nail Scissors Method: You will firstly need to find holes in your shells. If there aren't any, you've got to make them by knocking them with a sharp object, essentially, a nail and hammer until they crack enough for a string to pass through the centre. Thread the string through the shells in rows of as many shells as you want and secure them with big...

Send your kids camping they said, it would be fun they said. For the kids yes, but for the parents… uh uh. Especially, not when it comes down to the packing.    However, like always… you can chill out, because we at Sugar Bay have certainly got your backs. We know that packing your child’s suitcase for camp can be difficult, this is why we always send through a packing list for each and every of our holiday camps. However, very often we find that our campers pack more than what’s required of them and this is usually why we have to deal with lost property. It is imperative parents understand that the full camping experience cannot be achieved without the correct gear.    Here is a list of the essential camping gear all campers require:   Like the popular rhyme-“Head and shoulders, knees and toes”, we’ve decided to start from the top. Every camper needs to have packed: 1. Head:  · A Sun Hat/Cap   · A Beani...

Our Sugar Bay campers always head home with lots of stories to share with mum and dad. Mostly stories about the fun activities we offer, the delicious food we serve, the new friendships they have made and the crazy but cool counselors we have at camp. Quite often, parents become confused and wonder “Why is my kid speaking politics so casually?” Cool it mums and dads… This isn’t politics. This is camp jargon. For those of you who didn’t know, counselors are actually young adults who are individually chosen to care for the children at camp.  At Sugar Bay, our counselor to child ratio is 3: 1 , which is the highest in the country. Our counselors come from all around the world and most of them have actually worked in American summer camps. Our Sugar Bay Counselor’s first priority is the care, supervision and happiness of every child. Some young campers leave camp w...
