Opening Night Games
A fun night that allows the kids to feel comfortable and gives them a chance to get to know our counselors by playing a few simple games.
Skits & Stunts
The kids put on short skits in their cabin groups. The counselors also carry out funny stage stunts using kids that volunteer to take part.
Casino Night
The kids get our own Sugar Bay money and move around gambling at the different stations that the counselors setup trying to land up being the kid with the most money at the end.
Team Treasure Hunt
The kids will race around camp performing various team challenges and solving clues to find the treasure.
Party Night
We play music and dance, ending a off with a Fire Poi show by the counselors. Can also start the evening with some Karaoke if the kids would like.
Fear Factor
We copy the TV show. The kids make 2 or 3 fairly large teams and compete by having to eat gross things like marshmallows with tomato sauce on top. There are also tasks like a team member holding up a drum of water longer than the other team member.
MTV Night
The counselors put on a little show by mimicking some MTV programs. The kids are involved as if they were the guests or participants on the shows.
