The Resilient Journey, A week of Self Discovery – Mayowa Oloyede

On a journey of humanity and self-discovery
Volunteers gather as though we’re family
On a journey to places beyond our horizons
We looked forward to making the best of memories

Lo N Behold, a story untold
Campers gather, an adventure unfolds
The mystery of a journey no one knows
With our heads held up high, we’re ready to go

A mountain so tall it touches the sky
In a single formation, we hike through the night
As our leaders chant the warnings aback
No one moves until the last man confirmed

In the middle of the fun and connections built
Several Outreaches, our Team leads threw
The pressure and uproar of the waterfalls
The irony of the calm and relief it pours

Campers converge for the morning brief
Welfare satisfy us with sumptuous meals
Great Speakers indulge us in GLS sessions
On karaoke nights, the bonfire beckons

One week of peace, one week of experience
A week for all never to forget
A week to cherish all the friendships made
A Quality of people you can never understate

As we journey back home, we can’t ignore
Our tent partners, we’ll miss so much
When I think back and look at our pictures,
With a smile on my face, I’ll give you a call

When people ask me who hosted us
I’ll tell them it’s a place everyone belongs
At Camp Adventures Africa
We’re One family, One people, One Tribe
