Hey, fellow Swiftie parents! If your child is obsessed with Taylor Swift and you’re looking for the perfect way to make their holiday sparkle, look no further than Sugar Bay’s Swifties Week, running from 9-14 January 2025. This magical week is designed to take your child on a journey through Taylor’s music, creativity, and confidence-building fun. Whether they’re ready to belt out “Shake It Off” on stage or simply channel their inner artist, this camp experience is tailor-made (pun intended) for them!
New to Sugar Bay? Here’s What You Need to Know!
If you haven’t heard of Sugar Bay yet, get ready to be impressed. Sugar Bay is South Africa’s only children-only resort, based on the American summer camp model, and it’s been the go-to camp for kids aged 7-17 since 2001. We’re all about fun, friendships, and freedom. With over 100 activities to choose from—whether your child loves water sports, creative arts, or outdoor adventures—Sugar Bay offers them a unique opportunity to explore what they love at their own pace.
At Sugar Bay, there are no compulsory activities. That’s right! Your child gets the freedom to decide what excites them the most. From zip-lining to craft workshops, they’ll get to design their own camp experience.
What Is Swifties Week?
For one special week, Sugar Bay will be transformed into a Taylor Swift wonderland. It’s all about embracing individuality, building confidence, and making unforgettable memories, just like Taylor would want. Here’s the kicker—your child will get the chance to perform in the all-camp Taylor Swift Concert! If they’ve got what it takes to impress our camp’s very own "Tay-Tay" (a counselor channeling Taylor), they’ll earn a gold star and a spot on the Board of Fame.
Why Swifties Week Will Have Your Child Singing
I mean, what could be better than a week filled with Taylor Swift-themed activities? Here’s a sneak peek of what’s in store for your little Swiftie:
Album Cover Making: They’ll get to design their very own Taylor Swift-inspired album cover using everything from glitter to felt material. This is where your child’s creativity will really shine—whether their vibe is Fearless, Lover, or Reputation, they’ll bring it to life!
Tay-Tay Dance & Harmonizing Workshops: Does your child love to dance like no one’s watching? Or maybe they secretly practice harmonies to “You Belong with Me”? Well, now’s their chance to show off those moves and vocals in our fun dance and harmonizing workshops.
Tay-Tay Trivia: If your child can recite Taylor’s entire discography or knows her favorite color (it’s red, obviously!), they’ll love our trivia night. They’ll compete to show who knows the most about Taylor, and yes, there will be prizes!
Themed Days Inspired by Taylor’s Albums: Each day will have a special Taylor theme—like 1989 vs. Reputation or Lovers vs. Fearless—where kids can get creative with DIY merch, scavenger hunts, and even some fun challenges like the hilarious Drive by Your Ex mocktail creations. (I see a soy sauce-flavored mocktail in someone’s future!)
The Ultimate Highlight: The Swifties Concert
Here’s where your child’s inner pop star truly comes alive. At the end of the week, campers who’ve earned gold stars from "Tay-Tay" will perform in the Swifties Concert. Whether they’re singing their heart out to “All Too Well” (10-minute version, of course!) or showing off some killer dance moves, this is their moment to shine in front of all their friends. The very next morning, they’ll get the star treatment at our Grammy Awards Ceremony, where awards will be handed out to the top performers. And let me tell you, the whole camp will be buzzing with excitement!
And get this—our very own "Tay-Tay" will do a special lip-sync performance with ballerinas at the Grammy Awards. Trust me, it’s going to be a showstopper!
Why Sugar Bay Is More Than Just a Camp
If this is your first time hearing about Sugar Bay, let me tell you, it’s not just any camp. It’s a place where your child will grow, learn, and build confidence while having the time of their life. With a counselor-to-camper ratio of 1:3, your child is always in safe hands, and our counselors are there to support, guide, and make sure every kid feels included and valued.
Every week at Sugar Bay has a different theme—whether it’s Swifties Week, Relay Week, or even a Superhero Week—each theme is designed to keep things fresh, exciting, and packed with new experiences. And what makes Sugar Bay truly unique is the way it encourages free choice. Your child can pick the activities that excite them the most, ensuring that their experience is as unique as they are.
Plus, if you’re wondering about logistics—don’t stress! Sugar Bay offers flexible transport options from all over South Africa, making it super easy for your child to get to camp.
