Camp experience
It never crossed my mind that I will go camping in my mid 20nties, I have never camped before and this was an opportunity I couldn't miss.
I have heard interesting stories about camping but this one I had to witness it for myself.
Defining the camp experience
The camp had a unique surrounding with tall trees and monkeys chirping around, the best place for social, emotional and physical balance.
Getting to know each other, playing games and interacting with mother nature made this camp exciting, intriguing and full of fun.
Activities at the camp
We quickly kicked off by presenting our social Entrepreneur Businesses, then a session on social entrepreneurship by Dr Poul Moturi, this opened our minds deeper to understand how to anchor the problem we had chosen to work on as a squad,
At this point, a quick cup of tea was really necessary, before getting back to the Design thinking session and ways of pitching by MR. Emanuel Nandokha.

We welcomed a new day sleeping only for a few hours,
After breakfast prepared by squad iconic, we joined for another effective session of unmasking yourselves. Showing the true you and not hiding behind the masks of smiles, cynical jokes, and pleasing others, in that people don't get to see you for who you are.
Understand yourself and define what you are filling.

We later enjoyed the amazing grace puzzle-solving activity.
It was rewarding after completing in the end, we enjoyed our lunch and celebrated those who stood out in self-leadership during the camp, we concluded and left the camp.
