During the last few years, Ocean Lakes has focused more attention on a special group of our guests -teens. We have challenging new events like the "Ocean Lakes Survivor Challenge" - now one of the most popular activities for ages 12-15. Another challenge for teens is our "Surf Camp" for ages 10-15, expanded to three days with several different surf instructors.

This group is one of most sophisticated and educated consumers. (If you are a teen reading this - face it - you grew up with global buying power and info!) You are just waiting to drive a car, or at our place...a golf car. Once that happens we know you'll be on your own.

But until then, we have a place just for you - Sandy's Down Under (SDU for short). Talk about a room with a view! The windows look out onto the ocean and its air-conditioned with fresh ocean breezes. The finishing touchs are being added right now! With an Austrailian paint scheme and graffiti art, you'll find it the place to be. It's located under the Oceanfront Observation Deck. It is for ages 12-15 only. It's a place to meet friends, listen to music, swing in a hammock, skate, watch skaters and more.

Yep. No parents. No little brothers and sisters. No older ones. Just you and your friends. Put your parents mind at ease, though. Our well-trained counselors will be keeping an eye on things.

So, we want to hear from you! Once you've been - what do you think? We hope you like it. But respect it - we had to fight for the space! You and your friends have the power to make it work.
