Vision

Please explain what you hope to gain by participating in RYLA.

By going to RYLA I hope to grow in my leadership and problem solving abilities. I am also looking forward to having the opportunity to meet new people, make life time friends and discuss different ways we can gain from the camp experience all together.

Rotary’s motto is “service above self.” What does that mean to you?

To me ”service above self” means going out of your way to help other people before thinking about yourself. Whether that means offering a lending hand or even just the selflessness of helping someone without expecting anything in return.
