Rotary District 9660 - RYPEN 2026

(Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment) 

RYPEN is a weekend camp for young people aged 14 to 17 that builds confidence, communication, and friendships that last well beyond the weekend. It's one of the most rewarding programs Rotary runs in our district, and every year we hear from parents, teachers, and participants about the difference it makes.
