RYLA
2008
The 17th annual RYLA camp has been scheduled for March 27th-March
30th, 2008
and will be held at the Salvation Army’s “Heart O’ the Hills” facility
located outside Tahlequah, Oklahoma. RYLA is specifically designed for
class leaders in their junior (11th grade) year of high school. If your
club is hosting a student from a foreign country as long as the
individual is attending high school (10-12th grades), he or she may
attend the RYLA camp with the permission and participation of the
sponsoring club.
Please note camp starts on Thursday afternoon at 1:00PM and runs
until Sunday afternoon at 12:30PM.
The cost of $215 per student will include all meals, snacks, lodging,
seminar activities and materials, a ROPES course, entertainment, a dance
and other activities/items. The clubs will need to provide
transportation to and from the campsite near Tahlequah. Clubs are
encouraged to participate by providing cabin chaperones or by attending
any phase of camp activity. There is NO charge involved for Rotarians,
spouses, or cabin chaperones. The counselors, who will work directly
with the students, will come from the various universities within
District 6110.

We are requesting that each participating club:
- Send OUTSTANDING students who are currently in
their junior year (grade 11) of high school;
- Possess LEADERSHIP characteristics upon which
RYLA will build; and
- Who are the most and best QUALIFIED to receive
the greatest benefit.
Do not rule out a Rotarian’s child. The qualification is leadership.
Go for the very best young people you can find. The greatest single
factor to insure success of RYLA rests totally upon the quality of the
student(s) selected.
We must have STUDENT APPLICATIONS, PARENT/GUARDIAN
AUTHORIZATIONS, ROPES COURSE LIABILITY REALEASE/HEALTH RECORDS
and PAYMENT completed and returned BEFORE March
7th, 2008. A definite headcount is required by this date in
order to confirm camp and meal arrangements. The forms are attached and
may be reproduced. Additional forms will be made available and can be
downloaded and copied from the District 6110 web sit in PDF format.
The major responsibilities of the individual clubs fall under these
areas:
- Selection of participating student(s)
- Completion and submission of necessary forms and payment ($215 per
student)
- Transportation of the student(s) TO and FROM the camp located
outside Tahlequah, OK.
