Possibilities

RYPEN supports youth to find their voice, take leadership, explore other leadership opportunities, and make a difference in their community. All camp leaders are previous attendees, inspired by their camp experiences to continue their journey as growing leaders.

RYPEN is a 4-day camp for full-time students between the ages of 14 and 18 (grades 9-12). The objective of the camp is to encourage personal growth and to bring about a happy and productive youth who is a positive role model in their community and to their peers. It is hosted by the RYPEN Committee in partnership with local Rotary Clubs across Rotary International District 5370.

This year, it will be held from May 8th to May 11th, 2025 at Teen Time Ranch, Range Road 253, Dapp, AB (north of Westlock).
 
The Rotary Club in Spruce Grove are providing full sponsorship for youth from our area to attend RYPEN.  Applications for sponsorship must be completed by mid-April and successful candidates will be notified.
