RYLA Lakelse 2012

The first weekend in July is always a great one at Lakelse Lake.  This year was no acception.  Youths from several different communities in our District came together to be part of the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards experience.  Without question, they shone!  Our 2012 Rylarians were Jamie Marcial, Isaiah Fos, and Brittany Hawkins.  It was great to see them in action, part of different teams making RYLA banners, working together to build an outdoor armchair of wood, carry 5 gallon jugs of water so they had a feel of what it would it would have been like to do this as a child in Ethiopia where water was carried long distance each day so the village has water.  The camp ended up with a chance for everyone to try Dragon boating, certainly something you need to do as in sync.  Rotarians and Dragon Boaters from Kitimat helped out with this and a couple of us stayed for the most part of the weekend.
