• Important update as of April 13th

    We have hit our maximum numbers for attendance at RYLA. Your application will be wait-listed. We frequently have students drop out, so you may still be able to join us! You will be notified by your supporting Rotary Club if you are able to attend. Thank you for your interest in RYLA!!

    Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is Rotary International’s outdoor leadership retreat for high school students. Sophomores and juniors are invited to attend a weekend-long event, where you'll cultivate life and leadership skills including goal setting, cultural understanding, problem solving, communication, public speaking, community building, team building and more!

    Event Date: May 15–17, 2026 

    (NOTE:  commitment for the entire weekend is required.  Please check your schedule carefully)

    Event Time: Friday 3pm – Sunday 3pm

    Event Address: Camp Rotary – 372 Ipswich Rd, Boxford, MA 

    The full cost of the RYLA weekend will be paid by a sponsoring Rotary Club. If the student does not attend the weekend and does not provide at least 72 hours advance notice of their non-attendance, the RYLA program would ask for a $150 donation to offset some of the non-recoverable costs.
