94 students and more than 25 adults came together for a weekend filled with growth, connection, leadership, and unforgettable experiences. The impact was real, and the feedback from our 2026 survey says it all:
“Being a leader is hard work, but it is one of the most rewarding things a person could be — RYLA is absolutely the best place to learn to lead.”
A heartfelt thank you to our Rotary Clubs, RYLA coordinators, Lead Team, Family Leaders/Advisors, Facilitators, Camp Rotary, and everyone who helped make this weekend possible — especially the Melrose Rotary Club for generously covering the cost of our Ropes Instructors, along with all of our amazing club and individual donors.
These students are AMAZING — we can’t wait to see what they do with all they learned! Thank you for helping create an experience that will stay with them for a lifetime!
Christina, Lexi Kantor & the entire Lead Team
