What to Expect at RYLA

By the time you arrive at RYLA, you will have been assigned to a living unit and a counselor. Your living unit will include 10 or 11 other young leaders like yourself.

Before the weekend is over, you will enjoy a kinship with your group unlike any you have previously experienced.

Your sponsoring Rotary Club is responsible for arranging your transportation to and from RYLA. All students should plan on the following schedule: RYLA starts at 3:00pm on arrival day. Be sure you have already had lunch. 

Depart promptly by 12:00pm on the last day. No late arrivals or early departures are allowed. 

If you do not plan to be picked up and/or dropped off at your home, be sure to arrange where you wish to be dropped off when you return.

You will be assigned to a cabin when you arrive, it will be advantageous for you to become familiar with as many of the other participants as possible.

Each cabin will have a chaperone usually an IU Rotaract Student

Hundreds of young men and women have preceded you and many continue to write that RYLA was the highlight of their young lives.

Expect to work hard, play hard, eat well and have a fun and enriching experience.

When it is over, you will join the alumni in saying “RYLA changed my life.”
