What to expect at RYLA
By the time you arrive at RYLA, you will have been assigned to a living unit and a counselor. Your living unit will include 4 to 6 other young leaders like yourself. Before the week is over, you will probably enjoy a kinship with your group unlike any you have previously experienced. Your sponsoring Rotary Club is responsible for arranging your transportation to and from RYLA. All students should plan on the following schedule: Arrive between 11:00am and 12:00pm on arrival day. We will provide lunch. Depart shortly by 1:00pm. on the last day. No late arrivals or early departures are allowed.
Expect to work hard, play hard, eat well and have a fun and enriching experience. When it is over, you will join the alumni in saying “RYLA changed my life.”
