What is RYLA?

RYLA stands for Rotary Youth Leadership Award. A RYLA participant is selected by his or her local Rotary Club to attend a camp designed to build character, leadership, personal development and good citizenship. The “Award” part of RYLA is the actual scholarship the Rotary Club provides so that a participant may attend camp free of charge. Many participants have had life-changing experiences by attending RYLA Camp, and YOU could be one of those people. Using the Nebraska State 4-H campground facilities near Halsey in the scenic Nebraska Sandhills, RYLA has trained young leaders through activities, workshops, and a variety of presentations by speakers in business, government, and education. The camp is a six-day experience, July 16-21, 2017, full of outdoor activities such as canoeing or tubing, a fun ropes course, and many other outdoor activities that emphasize teamwork and decision making.

Why is RYLA for me?

RYLA stresses the fundamentals and ethics of good leadership, problem solving, group building, and the importance of positive self-confidence and self-esteem. To advance leadership skills, one must put themselves in situations that will methodically train them to be a better leader. Through RYLA, specific programs and activities have been carefully chosen to do just that. In addition to the leadership activities, there are lots of fun activities and social events.

Who is eligible?

• Students who are currently sophomores may apply.

• Students selected must commit to full participation in the program and attend camp on all dates.

• No late arrives to or early departures from RYLA camp will be allowed. No exceptions.

• Participants must have a desire to develop and utilize leadership skills.
