The Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment (RYPEN) aims to provide young people with the opportunity to develop their potential and self-esteem, provide experiences that will assist them to form their own values and moral standards, and to broaden their cultural, social and academic horizons. The program pushes students to develop their leadership skills so that they can excel in their field.

The camp started Friday afternoon 11 August and continued until Sunday. Hailey is a close friend of Lilly Lang who attended RYPEN last year. Lilly spoke to this year's students on how much this camp did for her last year. Lilly is also keen to become a Junior Leader but has to wait for a couple of years yet. Our member Darryl’s wife Shirley (Lilly’s grandmother) also attended this year's dinner. Lilly and Hailey talking to camp leaders
