RYPEN, September 21-24, 2017

 

The Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment or RYPEN is a Rotary sponsored District Youth Service program. Students, from 13 - 17 years of age, from across District 5360 attend a weekend long camp designed at developing their potential through a mixture of lecture style sessions and adventure-based learning.

Its aim is to communicate to young people a series of ideas, problems and social experiences which will assist them in forming their own values and moral standards.  A program of thought-provoking speakers, social situations, and personal challenges is offered.

“Superb musicianship, haunting harmonies and chilling tales from three men who spent their lives in the most rugged of all places - the wilderness of Canada's mountain national parks.” 

 

On Saturday,  we will have informative speakers bringing information about the two National Parks, the native peoples and their culture, the history of Waterton and its future and a look at the Crown of the Continent and the transboundary collaboration that occurs.  We will top the day off with a keynote speaker and fellowship.

 

On Sunday, we will celebrate the relationships we have formed during the weekend and over the years culminating with the “Hands Across the Border” pledge of Peace with our neighbours to the south.
