Last month, District Governor Sonja Susut had the opportunity to visit the RYLA Junior and Senior camps at Clear Lake. What an exceptional experience these weeks are for the students! With Director, Jorrel Camuyong and Facilitator, Scott Hanson, and their crew of counselors, the campers discovered “magic” as they bonded through teamwork in building leadership skills.
Quptes heard: “This is the best camp I have ever attended”
and “RYLA never leaves you. It’s in your soul”
and “This is the first time I have ever been accepted for who I am.”
and “This is the first time I have ever been accepted for who I am.”
The students spoke about the kindness and compassion of their fellow campers and how they never wanted to go home.
RYLA is a wonderful example of the diversity, equity, and inclusion that we promote in Rotary. Thank you to all the Rotary clubs who sponsored students for RYLA. You have changed their lives.

- Nancy Green Raine- alpine skier, Olympic and World Champion
- Randy Bachman- no need to say more!
- Joni Mitchell- another great!
- Lyle Vanclief- Politician and Minister of Agriculture
- Stuart Garson becomes Premier replacing John Bracken
There were several events but one that jumped out at me was that the Canadian 1st infantry division invaded Sicily.
