RYLA 2025: A Weekend of Growth and Leadership
From May 16-18, 2025, 32 students from 16 different clubs in District 7950 had an incredible weekend of growth, learning, and friendship at a joint RYLA event with District 7930. Held at Camp Rotary in Boxford, MA, the program was packed with engaging exercises and activities.
Throughout the weekend, students honed their leadership and teamwork skills, while also boosting their self-awareness, self-confidence, and passion for community service. We were especially excited to welcome back 7 students from last year's RYLA, who returned to further develop their leadership abilities as Family Leaders for the weekend.
