RYPEN
The Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment (RYPEN) is a weekend camp, for young people who are between 15 and 17 and are in years 9, 10, and 11, where participants develop their potential through a mixture of lecture-style sessions and adventure-based learning.
RYPEN is designed for those students who just need a bit of a push and a confidence boost to start achieving their full potential.
During the weekend students are encouraged to: learn to understand themselves and others and manage their relationships, lives, work, and learning more effectively.
RYPEN provides an experience of ideas, problems, and social experiences which will assist them in forming their own values and moral standards and allow them to broaden their horizons culturally, socially and academically. Challenge by choice is an important aspect of the program experience.
The next RYPEN camp will be at Camp Getaway, 5th September - 7th September 2025.
The 2026 camp will be held from 24th April - 26th April.
