Hey everyone, times are rough right now and so busy with scholarships and college work. Its really been hard for me to take time and stop and think about the choices I've been making. Sometimes we get so caught up with work and trying to please others we dont look at ourselves. I really miss everyone so much and I want to see my family and everyone else more than ever. Love and miss you all.

Plus, you could join either of these groups & reconnect all at once: "RYLA 2008 District 5580" or "Camp RYLA 2007-Dist. 5580". Happy facebooking and good luck with high school/college. I hope you're still taking time to practice the 7 Habits & 4 Way Test. Don't forget to share your RYLA experiences and lessons with others! Take care & keep in touch.

Camp Ryla, what was it going to be like? Was the question I asked myself before attending Ryla. I had no idea that in just one week a family can come together as ONE with an amazing bond as if we were a real family from the very beginning. My family (P) was awesome of course we had our ups and downs but that is what brought us closer as a family, by the end of the week I was not ready to go home at all! I miss everyone very much- daddy lon, uncle alex, sam, barbie, alison, andy, maria, joey, and tara I will always remember you! Miss ya lots and Love Ya! ~Chantal

Thank you to everyone at camp RYLA this year. My family P was the best. From the moment I was registered I felt the love of all of the staff, facilitators, assistant and junior facilitators and even the campers. We all came not knowing what to expect and left with the feeling of our hearts overwhelmed with joy, love and well wishes for eachother in our adventures ahead. I came to camp RYLA as a teenager not quite sure of myself, who I was or what I wanted to do but in just one week I did so much growing and I left camp I adult fully on my way to acheive greatness and live life by my terms while living by my mission statement to live life for the service and happiness of myself and others. I hope to be part of the magic of 2009 by possibly becoming a JF and by telling all I can about this wounderful experience I had at camp.To all at camp RYLA 2008 thank you for being there and God Bless.

I met so many life changing people. I also had the best family and Facilitators. Our Family was kinda know as the Blessing Family because whenever someone sneezed we were all there to bless them as a family. RYLA is the Best and i wish i could go back and have that much fun again and again.

I still remember and think about my RYLA experience after 12 years, so it must have made an impact on me. By far the most valuable thing I took away from the camp was how to recognize, approach and resolve conflict. One thing I would suggest adding to the curriculum is the importance of effectively teaching/training others so they may help achieve a particular goal. The 7 Habits book in 1995 was quite business centric, and didn't translate well to my 16 year old mind. It looks like they are using a teenage edition now, hopefully that's better. Personal advice to past and future campers, don't adjust your compass to fit others' impressions or expectations of you. Best wishes and God bless.

RYLA has been one of the best experiences of my life. I cannot thank the staff enough for what they put into this camp to make it such an enjoyable and enlightening experience for all us campers. At Ryla, I was made to feel happy with myself and was inspired to make everyone else I encountered happy with themselves. I feel I was asked the right questions to help me realize who I am and how I want to impact the world. Somehow, this camp brings out the best side of people and makes each person beam with positivity. I'll never forget how enthusiastically we clapped for each performer in the talent show! Real life isn't like that...Talent Shows are always contests (whether they're deliberately set up that way or not) wherein people only cheer for a small percent of the performers. I honestly had never been in such a positive atmosphere before, so it was definitely a shock coming back to real life! I wanted to be back in crookston with all of you as soon as I reached TRF! Much love to my Family O (for personal recognition, see my "sister" Brianna's message) and all the camp staff and campers, whether I met you or not. All of you made this camp rock!

Camp RYLA was by far the highlight of my summer. The best week of my life easily. I met so many great people and learned alot about myself without even realizing it. I think about camp probably everyday and my friends tease me about it so much because I talk about it so often...I know it's because they're jealous. I only hope that they can have this great oppurtunity to attend RYLA. It changed me so much, I'm just hoping I can attend camp again next year as a junior facilatator! Stay in touch and be safe!

Hello all, I just randomly bumped into a fellow '99 Rylarian tonight. I don't think I'd seen her for about 5 years, and after that I got to thinking about RYLA, and found my way to this sight. I had forgotten it even existed, and yet here I am. Google is truly amazing. It was good to see all the familiar names of people who had posted - Don, Marty, Eric, Sarah, Katie, Emily, Andrea, Max, John, Dan, etc. Hope you all are doing well. Well, I don't really have anything in particular to say, but wanted to join in. Hopefully I'll get a chance to be a facilitator again some day. That was a great experience. My sister Laura (also a past Rylarian and facilitator) is getting married around RYLA time this year, so probably not this July, but maybe some year. A little update on me - I live in the Cities now, I'm rooming with a '98 Rylarian named Bryce, I just got back from a month of filming tsunami relief work in South East Asia, and my e-mail address on this website is wrong. You could reach me at pianoplayingdave@hotmail.com. That's not my main address, but if you wrote me there, I could tell you the other one. Well, all for now. I am so glad to be a part of the community of RYLA alumni, and have nothing but fond memories of camp back in '99. Hopefully I'll randomly bump into some of the rest of you in the years to come... -Dave
