Welcome, Rotary Clubs!
Thank you for your dedication to nurturing young leaders through RYLA! We’re delighted you’re here to support and champion the next generation.
How to Get Started
- Check out the RYLA details for clubs and downloadable materials, then consider sponsoring one (or more!) promising applicants.
- Secure their spots by arranging payment. The cost to host a camper is $700 per student (or $650 if PAID before 12/31/2026) (RYLA 2027), while the camper participants attend at no cost to them.
- Mark these key dates:
- Final Payments from Rotary Clubs are due by February 1.
- Confirm your camper selections by February 15.
Exciting Opportunity: Volunteer Staff Training
Training dates and details are coming soon—stay tuned! Meanwhile, feel free to contact Mike at 949-395-7275 or via email to learn more or express your interest.
