Life at the Bay

  Sugar Bay turned fifteen this year! And we did what we always do every year at the end of August - party & celebrate! This 15 th birthday at Sugar Bay was a big one, simply because our camp was gifted with one of the most extravagant additions…    Waterslides! It's a Sugar Bay tradition for camp to get better and better as it gets older.    Last year we added bungee trampolines to our children's paradise, and this year we've added not, one, not two, but three waterslides to the Sugar Bay family! Hence, we celebrated our birthday with the fun and water-loving Splash Birthday week theme!    On Saturday, 3 September, just in time for the flourishing new season, we got out our balloons, cake and candles and celebrated with all our campers.    The sun was shining, surf was up, and the swimming pool was waiting to catch our campers as they went sliding ...

Sugar Bay has their very own pair of identical twins. We call this Sugar Bay Duo Ping & Pong!    Just like the game, Ping-Pong, one would be incomplete without the other.    Ping & Pong have been counselors at Sugar Bay for roughly 6 months. Although they share many similarities in physical appearance, they are actually very different.   Check this out: Differences between Ping & Pong: Question: Ping: Pong: Favourite activity? King Swing Climbing Wall Favourite camp meal? Alfredo Waffles & Ice-Cream If you could be an animal, what would you chose to be? A dog, so I can be spoiled and do whatever I want to. A wolf, because whereas a lion and tiger is the leader of a pack, a wolf doesn't perform in a circus. If you could have a super power, what would it be and why? To be ...
