Talented young people attend a seminar, camp, or workshop, generally three to ten days in length, organized by Rotarians at the local club or district level.

Students attending the RYLA camp will be provided with all meals, snacks, lodging, seminar activities and materials, a ROPES course, entertainment, a dance and other activities/items. There is NO charge involved for Rotarians, spouses, or cabin chaperones. The counselors, who will work directly with the students, will come from the various universities within District 6110.
