The
Chesterton-Porter Rotary Club is searching for candidates to attend its 29th
annual District 6540 Rotary Youth Leadership Award Camp at Camp Tecumseh
YMCA Outdoor Center, Brookston, Indiana. The camp runs three days and will
take place from Friday through Sunday, April 17-19, 2015.
Participants will
be selected from students, in their sophomore or junior years in high
school, who have exhibited leadership abilities in school, church,
extracurricular, or community activities. Applications for the 2015
leadership award are due Feb 16.
Kelsey Neiswinger,
CHS Senior and 2014 RYLA participant said "I loved attending RYLA because of
the new people I met and had the opportunity to learn from, as well as the
new leadership techniques I gained that I will carry with me for the rest of
my life."
The Rotary Club is
working with high school principals, guidance counselors, youth
organizations, and other sources for nominations. Aimed at developing the
leadership potential of young people, the camp will feature many challenging
activities including workshops, speakers, discussions, sports, music, and
fun. Topics will focus on decision-making, critical thinking, communicating
effectively, public service, contemporary problems, and career development.
