How do I apply? |

Thanks to the generosity of Rotary, RYLA is free for participants.
Each participant is sponsored by a Rotary Club within District 9800. To find out more, explore 'How To Apply'. |
RYLA District 9800 is the only RYLA Program to be entirely run by people who are past participants on RYLA 9800. This passionate team of young people put together the program from years of experience, right down to planning and cooking the meals you eat.

Application is simple! It can be done online or via our printable form - find out more under 'How to Apply'.
Where do we sleep?Participants will be housed in dormitory-style accommodation.

What do I need to bring? |
But I want to know more... |
|
Clothing - suitable for indoor and outdoor activities. The camp is held in the Dandenong Ranges where the temperature and weather fluctuate, so we advise bringing clothes suited to hot, cold and wet weather.
Bedding - pillow and pillowcase, sleeping bag (or warm blankets and sheets), and single fitted sheet. Because of the cold overnight temperatures in the mountains, we advise a sleeping bag. Toiletries - personal toiletries, soap, towel(s) etc. There are bathrooms and showers attached to the cabins. The RYLA Co-Directors will send out more information about what to bring in the lead up to the program. |
The RYLA Program is hard to explain or define. Through this website, you will discover what RYLA has given to other young people. You will also find all the information you need to know in order to apply. However, there is not much information about what the program entails, and this is intentional. From years of experience and past participant feedback, we have found that people get the most out of RYLA when they arrive with an open mind to the week ahead. We know it is hard to commit to something you may not know much about, but RYLA is all about challenging yourself.
We know that this leap of faith is well worth it.
