Martha Richardson, the RYLA Co-Ordinator, introduced the students who attended camp; Isabel Arredondo, Valentin Garcia, Olivia Nava, Valente Garcia (twin), Samantha Resendez. The three who also attended but didn’t come to the meeting were Nevaeh Quesada, Mia Urbano and Madelynn Gonzalez. Our alternate student was Kristina Budai who was on standby to attend but didn’t get to go. The Rotary Youth Leadership camp was held at Camp Ramah in Ojai. The camp is designed to teach and promote leadership skills. They have indoor and outdoor activities and invite talented speakers to teach, motivate and inspire the students. The students have an opportunity to meet many new friends as our District 5240 spans from San Luis Obispo to Agoura Hills and Inland to China Lake. There are 72 clubs and each has the opportunity to send students. Our club members enjoyed hearing each students’ thoughts about camp including the challenging ropes course, the speakers and setting goals and always striving for more even after you reach your goals, communication skills be courageous and not afraid. They also found that not being allowed to have cell phones was really great, they saw more, heard more and learned a lot.
