DID YOU MISS LAST WEEK'S MEETING? HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED
RYLA PARTICIPANTS DISCUSSED THEIR EXPERIENCES
Hats off to our RYLA volunteers who made RYLA 2016 memorable for so many students! Marion Trummer, Jan & Tom Keyton and Michelle McRae were just some of the people teaching leadership skills to several hundred students in July. The experience of being at the YMCA of the Rockies or in Larkspur (Young RYLA) and the wonderful leadership activities that are learned can really make a difference in a child's life.
A few participants visited our club last week to discuss what they learned!
Michelle McRae enjoyed blindfolding the students. Was this a calming activity?
This looks like the scariest exercise ever
