We’re once again inviting clubs to sponsor students to attend our District 6250 Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) Camp. We are very excited about this year's program and the opportunity to mentor young professionals in our community.
The dates for this year's camp are May 8-10 at the Upham Woods Outdoor Learning Center in Wisconsin Dells. Plans are coming together for another transformational and fun weekend!
Applications from clubs and Registrations from students/parents will be completed online. We’re now using ClubRunner to collect this information which helps keep all our info in one place. All you need to do is be sure to select the correct “ticket” type, and the rest is very similar to past years.
For RYLA leadership to get everything we need, you’ll simply have to complete these steps:
- Identify how many, and which students you’ll be sponsoring to send to RYLA (typically done with your local schools).
- Visit the RYLA Registration Page and click the “Register” button.
- Add the number of “RYLA 2026 Club Sponsorship” tickets that your club budgeted for to your registration and complete the checkout process.
- Then, you’ll help ensure that students along with their parents/guardians complete the same process, except they’ll use the “RYLA Delegate Registration” ticket. Each student coming to RYLA will need to complete this form.
If you need any help with getting things started with your local schools, identifying students, etc. check out our Toolkit for Student Selection.
