Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA)

April 10 through April 13, 2008

Camp Ramah, Ojai, CA

RYLA is a leadership training camp sponsored by Rotary clubs world-wide.  District
5240 has sponsored a RYLA camp for over 20 years.  The purpose is to teach leadership ship skills to incoming high school seniors so that they will have an impact on their high schools, colleges and communities.  The camp is held each Spring at a camp where the students are housed in lodges and have a great opportunity to gain skills they will use their whole lives.

RYLA aims to:

• Demonstrate Rotary's respect and concern for youth;
• Provide an effective training experience for selected youth and potential leaders;
• Encourage leadership of youth by youth; and
• Recognize publicly young people who are rendering service to their communities.
