About RYLA 2023
Club credits
Some of the clubs in our district have a credit from RYLA 2020/2021. If you are one of those clubs, you should have received an email on Thursday, June 2, 2022, letting you know the amount you have on account. If you did not receive an email but feel you may have a credit, please email us and we will follow up right away.
Timeline
We are finalizing the RYLA 2023 timeline, including club registration deadlines, application period, facilitator orientation and more.
Process
We are creating a package for clubs to help ensure all clubs have the same information and all students have the same experience during the application process. This includes ensuring all students complete an interview process with their sponsoring club.
Budgeting
Like many other programs, RYLA has seen double-digit increases in the costs of camp facilities, food, transportation and supplies. For us to maintain the quality program we all count on every year, the cost per student in 2023 will be $400. This represents the first increase in several years. (Facilitators still attend at no charge.)
Program
We have already begun designing the 2023 program, which will feature new speakers and activities along with some of the most popular from the past.
What’s next?
