Rotary Youth Transition Seminar 2009

RYTS (Rotary Youth Transition Seminar) is a weeklong camp held in December every year at Camp Bornhoffen, in the Numinbah Valley for students aged 16 to 18 years. Each year the camp has consisted of over 60 students from the Gold Coast to Grafton to Glen Innes to Goondiwindi and has been run for over 25 years.

The camp focuses its main theme on ‘Life Skills’ and includes sessions on motivation, public speaking, self-identity, finance & renting, goal setting and more. With entertainment, loud music, and loads of fun thrown in between the more serious parts, every year the RYTS camp has been major success for all who attended.

The RYTS Team consists of 13 young people and 6 Rotarians, who are all volunteers, and spend 6 months planning this event to make it the best it can be for each individual year.

The RYTS camp is such an inspirational week for all who attend.

I ask each and every club to please keep encouraging and sending these young adults to attend for future years as it is one of the best things they can do. More...

RYTS (Rotary Youth Transition Seminar)

What An Amazing Life Changing Experience For Everyone On Camp

Our attendants consist of five Rotaractors, four friends of the Rotaractors, four Rotarians and four friends of Rotary, who all come together to form an amazing, committed team and who have given up six months of their time each year to implement a program which we call (RYTS) Rotary Youth Transition Seminar.

The Seminar requires the attendance of around sixty Awardees for a weeklong duration to be successful. This year we reached our target. Thanks to all our participating Rotary Clubs for your wonderful support. A further thanks to all the sponsoring clubs who made the effort to attend the dinner, your Awardees really appreciated your company.

Many “on camp” tasks are preformed by the Awardees but none are beyond the capacity of the individual participants, such as introducing and thanking the speakers, public speaking, producing a daily newspaper, washing pots, cleaning the kitchen and dining room floors and providing entertainment each evening. Camp attendants provide adequate encouragement and supervision at all times.
