Finally, you've arrived at NYSC camp! The excitement is real, but so is the confusion that can come with being in a new environment.

Your first 24 hours will likely involve several activities, so knowing what to expect can make settling in easier.

Here are a few things to prepare for:

📌 Registration: Keep your required documents ready. You'll need them for the different stages of camp registration.

📌 Accommodation: Find out your assigned hostel and bed space. Keep your belongings organised and secure.

📌 Orientation activities: Be prepared for instructions, announcements and information about camp rules and daily routines.

📌 Getting familiar with camp: Locate important places such as the clinic, mammy market, parade ground and registration points.

📌 Meeting people: You'll meet people from different backgrounds and states. Be friendly, respectful and open to making new connections.

Remember, everyone is adjusting too. Don't panic if everything feels unfamiliar at first. Take things one step at a time and pay attention to official instructions.

For those who have completed camp, what was the first thing that surprised you when you arrived?

Share your experience to help prospective corps members know what to expect.
