Thompson Valley Rotary recently hosted our 2025 RYLArians and their families for lunch in the Cleveland Room. These inspiring young leaders attended the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards camp at the YMCA in Estes Park this summer and shared stories of teamwork, personal growth, and new friendships. We are proud to support their leadership journeys and look forward to seeing their impact in our community.
Earlier this summer, a group of outstanding local students attended the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) camp at the YMCA in Estes Park - a week filled with leadership development, teamwork challenges, and unforgettable experiences.
 
On August 7, Thompson Valley Rotary Club had the pleasure of hosting these remarkable young leaders, along with members of their families, for lunch in the Cleveland Room.
 
Over a delicious meal, the students shared what they learned at camp - from building confidence and communication skills to forming friendships with peers from across the region. They spoke about leadership activities, group problem-solving exercises, and personal growth moments that will stay with them long after camp.
 
RYLA is a signature Rotary program that empowers high school students to step into leadership roles, develop strong ethics, and discover how they can make a positive impact in their communities. Thompson Valley Rotary is proud to sponsor and support these students on their leadership journey.
 
We can't wait to see how our 2025 RYLArians take what they've learned and put it into action right here in Northern Colorado!
