RYPEN (Rotary Youth Propgram of Enrichment)

Concentrating on finding your inner strength and abilities to help with those tricky situations in life where we have to jump out of our comfort zone.
We also aim to teach the life skill of Mindfulness to help look after the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of each individual.
Some of the themes we cover over the weekend are:
MINDFULNESS HONESTY TRUST PERSISTENCE CONTRIBUTION
TOLERANCE GOAL SETTING GIVING TEAM WORK MEETING PEOPLE
SELF AWARNESS SELF TALK VALUES FEAR COMMITMENT
The RYPEN program has been developed over many years of experience and is today presented to you by a group of dedicated volunteers,
past attendees called RYPENITES and Rotarians who have all experienced RYPEN and provide passion and commitment to its success and strive to consistently grow and improve the program to meet the needs of today's youth and society.
TO APPLY AND THE COST?
Any Teenager between the age of 14 and 17 can apply to attend RYPEN. The Application forms are able to be downloaded to the left of this page. The cost of the camp is $250 and is covered by local Rotary Clubs who sponsor the participant to attend, so there is no cost to the Family.
