Two Spots Available for RYLA

We need to fill two paid spots for the upcoming RYLA camp at Georgia Southwestern State University, which begins June 5 (next week!). Preferred students are 15–18 years old who have completed 10th, 11th, or 12th grade.

Each student must complete the required paperwork before camp:

• an 8-page online application
• a 4-page medical and permission packet
• a 24-question survey for their DISC profile

If a child from our club does not attend, there are several clubs with alternates waiting in the wings, but we do not get a refund for our fees. 

Connect with Chandler Giddes or Stephan Thompson if your child or grandchild would like to participate so we can get the student started on the paperwork and meet the camp start date. For more information about RYLA, visit https://rotary6900.org/page/656.
