What a fantastic afternoon at the beach for Felixton College!

Our young campers headed down to the beautiful Zinkwazi Beach for some ocean adventures, with surfing, bodyboarding, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkelling and beach exploration on the programme.

There was plenty of excitement, laughter and sandy feet as the learners enjoyed their beach activities at Sugar Bay.

A wonderful way to spend a school camp afternoon on the KZN North Coast!

Surfboards, kayaks, sand sculptures and plenty of sandy feet!

The learners from Royal Molefe Academy have had a brilliant time exploring the beach at Sugar Bay, with surfing, bodyboarding, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkelling and beach soccer all part of the fun.

There have also been raft-building challenges, crab hunting, beach games and lots of laughter along the way.

These are the moments that make a school camp so much fun — trying something different, sharing experiences with friends and enjoying the outdoors at Zinkwazi Beach on the KZN North Coast.

What happens when you give 24 teenagers their phones back after a week without them?

About ten years ago, Sugar Bay founder Zoë Ellender decided to find out. She thought she was rewarding a group of older campers by letting them have their phones for a couple of hours.

At the end of the week, they told her it was the worst part.

The friendships they'd been building, the conversations, the excitement of being together — all interrupted by the return of their screens.

More recently, a group of Grade 11 learners shared a similar experience. What initially felt like a punishment became one of the things they appreciated most about camp.

After more than 25 years of running Sugar Bay, Zoë has seen just how much children can gain from spending time away from their phones. She's also learnt that sometimes it's the parents who struggle most with the idea.

In her latest LinkedIn article, she shares what those campers taught her and why Sugar Bay remains a phone-free camp.

Beach time is always a favourite at Sugar Bay!

The Grade 3 learners from Reddam House Umhlanga had a fantastic selection of beach activities to choose from, including surfing, bodyboarding, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkelling, beach soccer and even raft building.

So much to do, and so many ways to have fun!

The learners from Royal Molefe Academy have been getting stuck into their school camp activities at Sugar Bay, with everything from skating, climbing and paintball to basketball, archery, swimming, DJing and creative activities like beading and friendship bracelets.

There's something special about watching children try new activities, encourage their friends and enjoy experiences they don't usually get in the classroom.
