COST: $100 per person – Registration is open to High School Juniors. Rotary clubs are encouraged to send as many students as possible to this RYLA leadership development experience! However, we have a group size limit of 150 students. All meals, snacks, drinks, and workshop materials are included in registration fee. Late registrations - $115 per person (applies to registrations received after Friday, September 5 -- No exceptions!) Non-Perishable Food Items: Every RYLA student is asked to bring no less than four (4) items of non-perishable food which will be donated to local food banks dedicated to feeding the hungry. Transportation: Each sponsoring Rotary club is responsible for arranging the transportation for its attendees. All attendees MUST be prepared to stay until the RYLA program concludes. Those providing transportation for attendees if not staying on-site for the event MUST provide contact information to the RYLA Committee prior to their departure from site and make Committee aware of whether they or someone else will be responsible for picking up students at the conclusion of event. If another person will be responsible for pick up then that person’s contact information MUST also be provided to the Committee. Dress: CASUAL – SHORTS, JEANS, KHAKIS, TENNIS SHOES. Layering would be appropriate to accommodate “unpredictable” weather conditions, as well as an extra outfit and shoes for “possible” unforeseen mishaps. REGISTER EARLY!Selecting your students prior to the ending of this school year (sophomore year) will ensure every attendee is fully prepared for this unforgettable leadership experience. It will also allow the planning committee to prepare attendee work materials, name tags, and include the personal data of your attendees in the annual printed RYLA Program. To avoid a late fee, registrations must be received by September 18, 2018. 2016 RYLA
