Some ex-corps members talk about their camp experience so much interest and enthusiasm while others think it is not so great.
However, there is no point in spending three weeks in a regimented area like NYSC camp and not enjoy the little freedom you have.
Here five ways you can have an unforgettable NYSC camp experience.
1. Campfire night/ Carnival
In the last week of the orientation programs, NYSC will give you a series of fun activities that will make you want to come for another orientation. One of such activities is the campfire night and carnival
As a corps member, you should not deny yourself this experience as it's one of the most interesting activities in the camp. You need to see the fun that comes with this activity. This seems to be the corps members happiest moment.
2. Run a business on camp
While many think going to will require you to spend the money you don't have for three weeks, a business-minded graduate like you should ignore such a mindset and think of how to make money on camp.
Photography is probably the most popular business in NYSC camp. If you have a camera and you are very good at photography, you'll certainly make some cool cash before leaving the camp.
3. Join SAED
The NYSC a few years ago introduced Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development to the list of orientation programs for corps members in the camp.
The SAED has helped a lot of corps members to develop one skill or the other. This is a platform for you to learn graphics, interior decorations, fashion designing, make-up, bead-making, fish farming etc. Lots of graduates have become self-employed through SAED.
4. Join a group
Another way to enjoy your NYSC camp experience is by joining a group. There are so many groups and associations you can join in the camp. Do you have interest in music, Information dissemination and social media? Join the Orientation Broadcasting Service OBS) team and the NYSC band.
There are also cultural groups as well as religious associations. The Muslim Corpers Association of Nigeria (MCAN) and the Nigeria Christian Corpers Fellowship (NCCF) are so popular on camp. You can your religious group, improve your spirituality and at the same time have an exciting experience in camp.
Do well to share us your camp experience, when you get there.
Thank you
