Update!

Bandanas, Flags, and Paint is secured!

Rotary Club of Miami, OK has taken care of the backpacks!

RYLA 2026 is getting closer—and thanks to some incredible sponsors, our list of needs is getting shorter! ❤️💙

We still have a few opportunities for Rotarians, Rotary Clubs, businesses, RYLA alumni, families, and friends to help us prepare for the next group of young leaders!

🚩 6 Tribes Still Need Bandannas Sponsored — under $30 each!
Your color, your identity, your tribe. Bandannas become part of the experience and help create that sense of belonging from the moment camp begins.

🎨 Tribe Paint — $60
Help provide the paint our tribes use throughout the RYLA experience as they create, compete, build their identity, and work together.

🍽️ Wednesday Staff/CIT & Chief Training Meal — $800

👕 RYLAmania T-Shirts — $1,500

🎒 Drawstring Backpacks for Every Camper — $700

You can sponsor the entire cost OR contribute a portion toward any of these needs. A $25 gift matters. A $100 gift matters. A fully sponsored item matters. It all adds up to an incredible experience for our students.

🛒 Many of our smaller camp needs can also be purchased directly through our RYLA 2026 Amazon Wish List:
