These students enjoy a 6-day life-changing leadership training sponsored by local Rotary Clubs in the 5870 District. In 2016, we sponsored two students from Corsicana HS. In 2017, we are again sponsoring two students and this time from Mildred HS. They are:

Why Camp RYLA?
Camp RYLA provides you with an opportunity to exchange ideas, opinions, and believs with other students, in a relaxed, retreat style setting. You'll be encouraged to tear down the walls by trying new things and exploring new roles. You'll develop new friendships and become a more effective role model, team player, and leader. Camp capacity is limited to 45 girls and 45 boys.
What will I be doing?
You will start each morning with aerobic exercises to get your minds and bodies going. The days are non-stop with team building activities, river rafting, ropes courses, the RYLA Olympics, & community service projects. Evenings highlight social activities and each day ends with a daily wrap-up and team bonding with brother & sister cabins.
