Camp RYLA

at Goddard Youth Camp

Why APply?

RYLA is a high-impact leadership experience where students and counselors grow in confidence, build real-world leadership skills, and form meaningful connections. Campers discover their strengths, learn how to communicate and work as a team, and leave feeling empowered to lead in school and life.

Counselors have the opportunity to mentor young leaders, strengthen their own leadership and facilitation skills, and make a lasting impact—all while being part of an inspiring, service-driven community. RYLA is challenging, fun, and unforgettable—and many who attend say it’s an experience that truly changes them.

What is RYLA?

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.
