District News:
TO: 2025-26 Clubs
FROM: Taylor Grayson, District 5960 RYLA Team Lead
My name is Taylor Grayson and I am this year's District 5960 RYLA chair, working to ensure we have another successful Camp RYLA this coming April.
This will be our first attempt to get you all of the information you need to know about Camp RYLA. We hope your club can and will participate!
What is Camp RYLA: The purpose of Camp RYLA is to awaken the leadership potential of high school students. See the Camp RYLA website at www.campryla.org as well as the attached flyer for this year's camp.
When & Where: Camp begins Friday, April 24, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at Camp St. Croix near Hudson, Wisconsin, and ends at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, at the St. Paul Intercontinental Hotel. From Friday evening to early Tuesday morning, the program takes place at Camp St. Croix. On Tuesday, a bus will take students to the St. Paul Intercontinental Hotel for the Awards Luncheon in conjunction with the St. Paul Rotary Club meeting.
Who should attend: Rotary Clubs from Districts 5960 and 5950 may sponsor students to attend Camp RYLA. We are planning for 84-100 students this year. Our programming targets juniors in high school, but we will accept sophomores and seniors. We can accept up to six students from any particular school and prefer an even match of genders.
Transportation: Your Rotary Club is responsible for your students’ transportation from their home to Camp St. Croix on April 24th and from St. Paul to their home on April 28th. Please note: We do not allow students to drive their own cars to Camp!
Cost: Clubs pay $500 per student sponsored. There is no cost to the participating students. Please consider supporting camp by sponsoring a student even if your club has problems recruiting students. We will find students from other clubs if your club is unable to!
Ways to Support RYLA 2026:
- Make a commitment to participate!
- You can either financially participate by sponsoring a student(s) through the club budget AND/OR Rotarians can make a tax exempt donation directly to Camp RYLA
- Volunteer before or during RYLA to help make our camp a successful one!
