Physiofest 2025: Day out ( Trip to Gomoa Wonderland)
The grand finale of PhysioFest 2025 was the much-anticipated Physio Day Out, a time to unwind, bond, and return refreshed for the journey ahead. This year’s destination was the Gomoa Wonderland, and excitement filled the air from the very start.
Setting Off
The day began early, with the bus arriving on the main campus at 7:00 am to convey students, before heading to the Korle-Bu campus to pick up the rest of the group. A quick head count was taken, and after a heartfelt prayer led by Emmanuel, the journey officially began.
Though the ride was long, it was far from boring. With music blasting, laughter ringing, and jams breaking out, students transformed the bus into a moving party that set the tone for the day.
At Gomoa Wonderland
On arrival, we were welcomed by a staff member who gave us a brief orientation and tour of the facilities. Each student was provided with a refreshing bottle of Bel Aqua to keep hydrated and energized for the activities ahead.
We had access to a variety of outdoor activities, including football, volleyball, tennis, and swings. One of the day’s highlights was the archery range, where students tested their precision. Though many arrows missed the mark, the persistence and determination reflected our physiotherapy spirit, we never give up.
For those who preferred a calmer pace, there were equally engaging indoor and board games such as Ludo, Oware, UNO, and cards. These games added a different flavor to the day, sparking laughter, friendly rivalry, and moments of pure relaxation.
Food, Fun, and Adventure
At midday, we paused for a delicious meal of jollof rice with chicken, complemented by a refreshing drink from Bel Beverages. Energized, we headed to more adventurous activities.
The canoe ride brought a thrilling mix of excitement and nerves, while confident swimmers enjoyed the cool waters. Meanwhile, the quad bikes gave others an adrenaline-packed adventure, speeding across tracks with cheers and encouragement from their peers.
The entire day was filled with fun, photos, and lasting memories.
Closing the Day
By 5:00 pm, it was time to wrap up. Tired but fulfilled, we boarded the bus for the return trip. Even though exhaustion had set in, the students couldn’t resist one last round of jams on the bus, keeping spirits high until we safely arrived back on campus and at our respective halls.
The successful execution of PhysioFest 2025 reflects the dedication, teamwork, and commitment of the physiotherapy student body and its leadership. Beyond the celebrations, the event reaffirmed the relevance of physiotherapy within the broader healthcare and sports landscape, while also strengthening the bonds of friendship and professional identity among students.
As the curtains closed on PhysioFest 2025, we carried home refreshed minds, stronger friendships, and unforgettable memories that will fuel us for the year ahead.
