Start off advice
For the start of this countdown, we reached out to RYLA alumni, Bethany (camper in 2011) and she offers these tips on how to prepare for camp. This is the beginning of pre-RYLA for the week so get ready.
Hello Camp RYLA Class of 2018! Camp is getting SO close, and
I hope you’re as excited as I am. In honor of this summer being my 5-year anniversary of attending Camp
RYLA, I decided to talk to y’all about 5 experiences/pieces of advice involving
RYLA:
- “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
–Wayne Gretzky/Michael Scott/Dana Mackison… but in all seriousness, challenge
yourself each day at camp to do something new or different.
- Reach out to everyone in your cabin; every
person has a story to tell and investing time and effort in every RYLA
friendship will enrich your life.
- Make sure to get a couple good nights of sleep
the week leading up to camp! I am a huge supporter of naps, and will not be
offended if you stop reading this to go take one right now.
- Learn
from the ACs- they were in your shoes just last year and will become a lifelong
friend.
- Treasure every moment! Get ready for one of the
greatest weeks of your life.
We CANNOT wait to welcome you to camp.-RYLA Alumni
