Jenna Wadden & Maya Pasut thanked the Rotary Club of Vancouver Arbutus for sponsoring their RYLA adventure. Not knowing anybody except each other, they were nervous and scared when they arrived at Camp Elphinstone. They were immediately separated into team yellow and team blue. Through mingle game and team bonding activities, a group of strangers became good friends during the fun filled weekend.
Attendees participated in professional development workshops with emphasis on 5 F’s: faith, freedom, family, future & fun. They discovered their personality traits – artistic versus analytical. Groups tackled community projects such as homelessness and vaping amongst youth. In doing so, they gained self confidence and leadership skills through group effort, idea collaboration, and presentation skills.
Attendees learned about Rotary International, and that young people are also involved in Rotary. They met and became friends with people from other cities and other countries. They discovered that everybody is a leader.
