Camp RYLA 2015 - A big hit with the kids

From the reports coming out of the RYLA campsite, this year’s event was another huge success.  It was an action packed weekend that included games, competitions, wood building, dragon boat racing, touring Terrace offering random acts of kindness to community members, learning about giving back to the community, and so much more.

Of course the RYLA camp leaders played a big part in the success of the camp and the volunteers from Rotary Clubs across northern BC and others who chipped in over the weekend really made this experience special.  A big thanks goes out to Nicole and Carman Hendry who once again opened up their home and beautiful property to host this year’s event.

The RYLA camp also benefited greatly from the widespread community support.  Here’s a list of organizations and businesses that stepped up to make the camp so memorable.  My apologies if I’ve missed anyone on this list.  Everyone’s support was very much appreciated.
