The next on
our agenda was flash light where we reflected on the lessons learned from the
second day and how to be in a better shape for today.
Today’s adventure opened our eyes
to understand it was in times past that curiosity killed cat. Now, curiosity
with direction and focus saves the cat and makes the cat exceptional and we
were challenged to always want to know more and be more than what we are now.
We moved on from adventure to general training facilitated by Ruth Goma.
In the general training, Champ
Ruth Goma guided us into reflecting on the themes of Activate Youth Camp from
the first year from “I Have It In Me” to our theme for this year “Convergence”.
In this process, we reflected on the impact of AYC on campers who had attended
before and they shared their impact stories which led them to return to AYC and
how they want to use this impact to change the lives of others.
The outcome of
our learning today was the development of creeds along the themes of AYC over
the years and a formular for success which is listening + understanding ÷ hardwork
= success.
The spotlight of tonight was
dance.
With pumped up adrenalin and dancing shoes, our campers displayed creative moves and showed who the boss on the dance is before our celebrity guest; award winning dancer, choreographer and director Segun Lawal of the Spirit if David Dance Group.
Before leaving, Segun Lawal noted that “being at Activate Youth Camp, you have the opportunity to let your
creativity change you and your environment for better” before reiterating his
commitment to the vision of Activate Youth Camp over the past 7 years and the
next 100 years.
AYC is ever evolving to bring meaning to the purpose of its yearly gathering. This year is showing itself to be another truly dynamic experience for all campers, interns, mentors and facilitators. It is a place to plan to be and be involved in.
