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:

  1. Send OUTSTANDING students who are currently in their junior year (grade 11) of high school;
  2. Possess LEADERSHIP characteristics upon which RYLA will build; and
  3. 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:

  1. Selection of participating student(s)
  2. Completion and submission of necessary forms and payment ($215 per student)
  3. Transportation of the student(s) TO and FROM the camp located outside Tahlequah, OK.
