Facilitators are camp counselors who work in pairs to guide a team of up to 12 students through their RYLA camp experience. Facilitators are caring and resourceful people who help foster an atmosphere of respect, cooperation and support at the camp and who want to make a difference in the lives of young people. They range in age from college students to retirees from a variety of backgrounds. Facilitators are part of a team of 50 volunteer camp staff.
Rotary is committed to fostering environments that are safe and positive for young people and the adults who interact with them. Facilitators undergo training on a range of topics from small group dynamics to youth protection. Facilitators must be available to be at the RYLA camp from the afternoon of Sunday, July 27 to the end of camp on the afternoon of Friday, August 1.
Facilitators applications will be available on December 1, 2024
