Registration begins at 9:00am Friday September 30th and programming concludes at 2:00pm Sunday October 2nd. There are few leadership training opportunities that lead to truly life-changing personal discovery and growth in such a beautiful setting. RYLA is an experiential education based leadership training that focuses on building the base skills shared by countless successful leaders who are gifted with valuable interpersonal connections. This is a weekend long training retreat that allows participants to grow through challenging and thought provoking games & activities. There are also opportunities within RYLA to have progressive leadership training allowing past participants to return and lead our future leaders! We're excited to have you come join us! Reach out to your local Rotary District 6220 Rotary Club and get them to sponsor you! Your RYLA Committee "Be who you be!" RYLA Testimonials: “This past weekend at RYLA meant so much to me. I was so afraid when I first joined- I wasn't sure I would be myself there, or make any friends. And in a way I didn't- because everyone is like family to me now. RYLA helped me to realize who I am, who I want to be, and who I have the potential to be. It's amazing that in just three days my life has changed for the better. I cannot wait for next year! Thank you so so much for this opportunity!!” – Student Participant “I just wanted to thank you both for giving (my Daughter) the opportunity to attend the leadership camp this past weekend. She was a little hesitant initially but then could not stop talking and smiling about the experience when she got home. This was a great opportunity, one that would not be possible without Rotary and you both so thank you very much.” – Mother of Student Participant “When I first got here, I thought that the people were weird. Like, really weird. But after about the second day, I realized why they weren’t being so weird. They were happy, truly happy. And that’s a thing rarely seen in lots of people. True happiness and comfortability around others is sadly missing in many people’s lives. That’s where RYLA comes along. It shows that happiness achieved through making others happy is a rewarding thing. It shows that helping others often helps yourself more. It shows that taking a break from the goals to provide assistance, emotional or otherwise, should be a priority. To stray from the path and give a helping hand to someone just creates a more beaten secondary avenue that happiness and joy and true self can flow through and fertilize the growth of others into their most pure, reliant form. RYLA shows vulnerability and pushes one out into the limelight, a place where self-discovery takes place. RYLA provides a stage with which one can perform and improve, yet never be judged.” – Student Participant
