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.

The participants will live, work, study, and play together in a democratic setting under the guidance of professional counselors and educators. Anyone interested in obtaining further information should go the on-line application link at http://www.dunelandrotary.com/2015/01/2015-ryla-applications/ or obtain an application from the Chesterton High School Career center.

Applications are due on Monday, February 16, 2015, to the Chesterton High School Career Center or by mailing to the Chesterton-Porter Rotary Club, PO Box 997, Chesterton, IN 46304
