Because we want to see campers succeed in life, we have designed RYLA+ to teach leadership skills in multiple environments-- part virtual, part in-person, fully active, RYLA+ is a student retreat experience like no other, which allows your students to explore their leadership qualities and to understand the qualities of others. Attendees learn how to most effectively utilize everyone on the team and how to stay sane in this crazy, busy world. Students participate in challenging activities, explore character qualities and learn about what it takes to be a leader in the community. We accomplish all of this in unique and fun ways. Each year, students come together from across the district for a leadership experience like no other.

Because of this, we are only looking for students who are committed and are up for the fun and the challenge. The completed form will be submitted to the local Rotary Club for review. Local Rotary Clubs decide how many students they wish to sponsor and who they sponsor. If selected, your student(s) will be emailed an acceptance letter.
