THE ROTARY YOUTH LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE (RYLE)

RYLE is an annual conference hosted by the RYLE Committee and sponsored by the Rotary Clubs of RI District 5370. This experience is intended for high school students (grades 9 to 12) who would like to gain or strengthen their leadership skills and learn how to be active citizens who strive to make a positive impact in the world. 
 
The programming of the camp has three main focuses: interpersonal growth, communication, and community building and global citizenship. Students are encouraged to take part on a challenge-by-choice basis and ample opportunity is given for each participant to express their individuality and test their strengths.
 
One of the greatest outcomes of the program, however, is the relationships, communities, and trust that are built within the camp. Over a short, yet intense, period the students develop strong trust with both the counsellors and other campers. The bonds formed at RYLE have proven time and time again to form lasting supports and many of our alumni are still in contact with each other years later. The camp further acts as a gateway into the Rotary Community, providing trackways and opportunities to service-oriented individuals to become involved on a wider scale. Our students enter RYLE as individuals primed for growth. They leave as leaders and part of our Rotary family.
 
This year's RYLE conference is scheduled for April 28 to May 1 and will be held in person at Camp Nakamun if pandemic health restrictions permit. Please email ryle5370@gmail.com with any questions, comments, or concerns.
