We’re excited to contact you about Southwestern College’s annual Rotary Camp, hosted by our Leadership team and open to all high school students from May 26–29, 2026.

Rotary Camp is a leadership and service-focused camp sponsored by local Rotary clubs that gives high school students hands-on experience in teamwork, communication, and community engagement.

Students participate in interactive activities, service projects, and leadership workshops designed to help them build confidence, meet peers from different schools, and develop skills they’ll use in college, careers, and life. The camp emphasizes character, service, and personal growth in a safe, supportive environment led by trained college students.

Registration is open through May 10, 2026, and participation fees may be fully covered by a student’s local Rotary Club. According to our records, your county’s local club is the Dodge City Rotary Club, and we’re happy to help make that connection if needed.
