Camp Spirit is in the Air!
There has been lots of camptivity fun and spirit at Kupugani today! Both mud volleyball and playing in the water proved a great hit. The boys have invented a new game in the waterfall – posing as super heroes as all the water splashes all around them! For our second camptivity, most of the camp took part in game of 9 square in the air, which is a new addition to camp this year. If it weren’t for the fact that dinner was on the table, we’re confident they’d still […]

Cabin Day Celebrates Kupugani Community
It’s been an awesome first week for the Kupugani boys session; today we had Cabin Day to celebrate our Kupugani community and recharge our batteries for the second week of fun.

In the afternoon, each cabin chose their 2 favorite activities to do all together. We had gaga, nuke ‘em, and lake play to name a few! Lastly, what Cabin Day would be […]
Fun, Fun, Friday!
Today was full of fun between a session of Free to Learn, Camptivities, and an evening of Blob Tag, Sand Volleyball and 9 Square in the Air! The boys definitely keep us going! Tomorrow is the infamous counselor vs. camper All Camp Soccer Game…. WHO WILL WIN?!?!?!?!
Rainbow Tag Fun
What has six colors, hides in bushes, and takes 40 campers to find? Rainbow tag, that’s what! Tonight’s activity involved a whole lot of running and a whole lot of color! Safe to say the game was a hit with the boys. Gaga also proved to be popular, with a rousing game taking place during camptivity one. Many of our campers also chose to take part in lake play – dam jumping and playing in the waterfall make the best summer days we at Kupugani say! Tomorrow, our seniors will […]
Capture the Flag Fun!
Another bright and sunny dawned at Kupugani, where the campers enjoyed a fun-filled day with camptivities like lake play, river walking, challenge hikes, and archery! In the evening, we had our much-anticipated game of capture the flag. Although the staff worked hard to tire the campers out, it was 8 rounds later before we finished! We’re sure everyone will sleep soundly tonight!
Camptivities Create a Splash
Today marked the start of our camptivities! We introduced some new things this session, with camp counselor Callum from New Zealand teaching the boys to play touch rugby. The campers also beat the heat with paddle boarding, canoeing, and pool sessions! The inaugural crate stacking session also took place, with a record of 16 crates being stacked today. Who will rise to the challenge and stack higher than that over the next two weeks?
Let’s Hear It for the Boys!
What a great start to boys session! Our campers woke up today in high spirits, with a record 17 campers up bright and early to participate in our early bird activity for the day – sweat and swim! In the afternoon, our returning campers went for a pool party, whilst our new boys attended a tour of the camp to see all the activities on offer this summer. Of course, there was time for everyone to swim once the tour was done! For our evening activity we had our cultural […]
