Winter 2023 Application

November 3-5, 2023 Camp Kitaki
4917 East Park Highway, Louisville, NE 68037

The Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) camp will be November 3-5, 2023 at Camp Kitaki near Louisville, NE. RYLA camp is an intensive 3-day training program for High School Sophomores and Juniors that helps participants think critically about important issues; share ideas with talented peers; learn how to coordinate and lead community service projects; discuss the importance of good governance and civil society to the world; and learn to think globally and explore issues that transcend national borders.  

The camp focuses on youth leadership development. Participants will learn about Rotary International and what clubs do to make our world a better place. They will participate in small groups and will work together to hone their leadership skills and learn more about the 7 Areas of Focus of Rotary International. Participants also will have the opportunity to build their leadership skills with several outdoor team building activities that the YMCA staff facilitate. There is also time for fun and fellowship with many opportunities to get to know fellow campers.
 
One of the projects of the weekend will be the “Initiative Challenge” where groups will be selecting an aspect of protecting the environment and develop ways to act and minimize how our world can work toward saving our planet from the radical changes in our climate, our ecosystems, and the health of every living thing in the world. Participants will learn about how to make a positive impact as emerging leaders in their communities, as well as a knowledge of our impact on the world and how impact can be changed by the choices we make.
