GETTING TO RYLA

Students arrive by charter buses arranged by RYLA. Make arrangements for someone to drop you off at one of our bus stop locations EARLY Friday morning. We will send you information about which stop you will go to 1-2 weeks before RYLA.

 

CHANGE OF PLANS?

We understand things come up. Please email your sponsoring Rotary Club and the RYLA registration coordinator as soon as you become aware of a conflict so we can give your spot to someone on the waiting list.
