Each summer, Rotary Club of Mineral Wells sponsors four high school students from Palo Pinto County schools to attend a four-day RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) camp. If chosen, the student will spend four days in a challenging program of discussions, inspirational addresses, leadership training and social activities designed to enhance personal development, leadership skills and good citizenship.
This year, this superb educational retreat will be held on the beautiful campus of Tarleton State University in Stephenville. Students will have the opportunity to exchange ideas about current issues and discuss leadership and personal development with knowledgeable local and regional leaders including many Rotarians. It is a fun-filled week of participating in community service projects, team building exercises, ice cream socials, chuckwagon dinner, and a DJ party.
Attendance at RYLA is by scholarship only. Students must be a high school junior or senior in the Fall of 2022 and between the ages of 16 and 18. Dates of the camp are June 16-19, 2022. All winners are selected and funded by the Rotary Club of Mineral Wells and transportation will be provided.
