You might think this will make you look too bougie. Who cares? Three weeks in the orientation camp could leave you many shades darker at the end of the programme than you were at the beginning, due to exposure to the sun. Sunscreen helps to ensure that your skin is protected from sunburn by absorbing some of the sun’s ultraviolet rays (UV). It helps to keep your screen healthy and protected.

One of the worst things that can happen to you is a low battery. Camp activities are very regimented, so you might not have so much time to stay indoors and charge your phone always. Get a power bank to keep your phone active. You can always charge your phone at the ‘mammy market’ but this is a better alternative.
