Excerpts from RYLA article by Alex DeWind
The program is said to produce leaders, challenge grit and change perspective. The simplicity of the outdoors, combined with the complexity of hundreds of young people from a four-state region, is life changing, organizers say. It’s RYLA - a five-day, expense-paid conference held in July at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park. Rotarians from districts 5440 and 5450, covering parts of Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming and Idaho, select the young men and women to attend. The week features a mix of activities, speakers, small group discussions and large group presentations. What makes RYLA stand out from other leadership camps is the
concept, Denver-area Rotarians say. “RYLA is not a bunch of old guys standing up preaching to young people how to be a leader,” said Bill manning, of Evergreen. “What it is, is youth leading youth, peer to peer.” The conference draws a diverse group of young people, from rural towns in Nebraska and Wyoming to inner-city communities and suburbs of Denver. Head counselors and junior counselors — who have recently gone through the conference as campers — lead with the help of a Rotarian.
