The Rotary District 6360 RYLA program runs from Friday 10:00am (attendee check-in) to Sunday 4:00pm.
- Activities will be lead by staff with extensive training in experiential leadership. District Rotarians will provide supervision and speak on the importance of community service.
- Camp is limited to 60 students this year. Applicants will be accepted on the basis of receipt of their completed applications from their community Rotary Club. Contact your local Rotary club for sponsorship.
- Safety is the number one priority of the RYLA weekend conference.
- All high ropes participants wear appropriate safety gear - helmet, harnesses and sling lines. All ropes activities are led by certified Adventure facilitators.
