Ready for RYLA 2026?
Camp RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) is more than just a camp; it’s a life-changing experience where you’ll build confidence, develop real leadership skills, and form friendships that last far beyond the week.
Through high-energy team challenges, meaningful conversations, and hands-on activities, you’ll discover what kind of leader you are and what you’re capable of achieving. You don’t need a perfect resume, just a willingness to grow, step outside your comfort zone, and show up as your authentic self. Spend a week unplugged, inspired, and surrounded by people who believe in your potential. Spots are limited, take the leap and apply today.
RYLA is an intense and incredibly challenging program, sponsored by Oklahoma Rotary District 5770 and has been designed to engender passion, resilience, determination, mental toughness, gratitude and compassion. In addition, the program will instill in the participants the value of Service above Self, a core Rotary belief.
You will also have the opportunity to participate in a character building program provided at Goddard Youth Camp, which focuses on leadership, effective communication, trust and cooperation. Utilizing adventure, personal commitments and shared insights, you will gain an increased sense of confidence in yourselves and in your team.
Attendance at RYLA is supported by fully paid scholarships provided by the generosity of the men and women Rotarians of the 33 clubs in Rotary District 5570 and takes place at the superb educational retreat at the Goddard Youth Camp located near Sulpher, Oklahoma.
