For District 5750, Rotary Youth Leadership Award is an opportunity for students to disconnect from their world and reconnect with each other. Phones, ipods, personal cameras, etc. are not allowed and frankly (after the first day), not missed. Students get a rare opportunity to experience a world of trust, hope, motivation, and love. The staff, made up primarily of former attendees, expects each person to be themselves and bring what only they can bring to the camp. Then, we expect each person, in their own way, to go out into the world and give their time and talent, if not yet their treasures, to others. We hope that if you have not had a chance to visit, you will make some time this year. You are always welcome.
Camp RYLA 2016 Procedures/Process
October/November 2015
Applications are sent to all Rotary Clubs in District 5750, to all high schools in the district (via email) and to recent former campers. The application has been created in Google Forms, so must be filled out electronically. It is compatible with smart phones, so students can fill them out anywhere.
These forms will automatically fill in a spreadsheet for the camp of potential campers. This also creates a Google Document, with all of the student's information, that will be forwarded to the student's local Rotary Club.
This means:
* There are no forms for anyone pick up or drop off anymore.
* The forms will be emailed directly to the clubs, from me.
* Former campers that find students, in your area, who are excited about RYLA, can fill out a form and it will be sent to the clubs.
* There is no need to scan and email apps anymore. I will have all of the information.
* Selected students will need fill out the release forms, once accepted, and send them back with their pictures/bios/etc.

Do you know an outstanding junior who would be a great fit for Youth Leadership Oklahoma????
Attention Juniors: Applications for Class XVI of Youth Leadership Oklahoma are now available www.leadershipoklahoma.com. This is an outstanding opportunity for students who have demonstrated a unique ability to lead others while making a significant impact upon their school and community. Each student selected will be awarded a full scholarship to our program and will benefit from the incredible programs, speakers, and events as this class bonds together and discovers the treasures of Oklahoma!
The selection committee looks for students who represent our state’s best young leaders — those who have demonstrated leadership ability in activities such as student council, athletics, community and service clubs. Keep in mind that with approximately 50 class members chosen throughout the state, selection will be difficult. Every effort will be made to select a balance of representatives from across Oklahoma.

Camp DaKaNi @ Camp Fire USA: In a 33 acre camp near Frontier City, called Camp DaKaNi, hold summer day camps weekly in June and July. Camp is held Monday-Friday, 9am – 3:30pm. Camp DaKaNi needs high school students who may be interested in volunteering as counselors or co-counselors during camp. We prefer volunteers to be 16 and older; they can be a co-counselor and just assist a group of children or if they are 18 they can lead their own group. We have counselor/co-counselor trainings in May so they would be fully trained on how to properly do all of our activities at camp.
