Camp life can be very boring without one. You will like to take pictures and share with your friends. You only need to be very vigilant and protective of your things. If you feel you need a bulletproof vest or helmet, please carry it. You know what we mean, don’t you? 55. MONEY, MONEY, AND MORE MONEY. * Never, ever, ever run out of it. Bring as much as you can afford. * Mirrors and forks are known to be contraband items in camp * Prices of items apart from fast consumer goods (Credit, Gala, Indomie etc) are usually higher than those outside so it is advisable you buy the things you can before going into camp. PACK AS LIGHT AS YOU CAN AND MAKE SURE YOUR BOX IS AS THEFT-PROOF AS POSSIBLE. The mobile network currently has over 1000 members and provides tips and resources for corps members. It’s a cool network that can also benefit all youth corp members who are currently on or about to embark on their primary assignment. SHARE THIS POST ON:
