Sugar Bay is a holiday resort for children and teens, based on the American Summer camp program; we run holiday groups as well as school groups and different leadership groups, and are open throughout the year. Counselors play a large role at Sugar Bay as they are the main reason children come to camp. Counselors are role models and friends to children as well as create a fun and safe environment.

We are always in search of the BEST possible counselors we can get. Counselors need to be finished school and between the age of 18-28. We look for great spirit, enthusiasm, loads of energy, caring smiling people who enjoy the outdoors, swimming in the sea, playing with kids, camping and just having good clean fun. Counselors need to be up for the challenge! Counselors work long hours and go for long stretches without drinking and smoking, but it is such a rewarding opportunity. Counselors need to be flexible, open and willing to try new things, helpful, patient, responsible and need to be able to take constructive criticism. It is also imperative that they are English speaking and confident swimmers, as majority of our activities are based in and around water.

The role of a Counselor is solely for the children, to be there for them, to spend time with them, stay in cabins with them, to listen to them and to become their friend and someone they trust. Counselors are responsible for a group of children which they live with in a cabin. They teach a large variety of activities on both the land and at the beach and run evening programs at night.

Every counselor here at camp has a funny nickname which adds to the magic and mystery of camp life. Camp names allow you to be anything and anyone at camp; Tinkerbell the brave, Squishy the brainiac, Grenade the hero, Punch the crazy or Mango the clown – let your imagination go wild!

We are open all year round and there is always something on the go, and we are always looking for fun, new counselors to work with us. Sugar Bay is a wonderful place, it is a place to learn new things, try new activities, meet a whole bunch of new people young and old, learn more about yourself, and challenge yourself at the same time. Each staff member and camper who has passed through the Sugar Bay gates can’t wait to return – This will soon be you!
