The object of RYLA is to develop leadership qualities and team working; to give a sense of pride in achievement; to stimulate mind and body, and in doing so to emphasise the importance of sportsmanship, fitness, character and personal relationships as part of quality living. It can be summed up by the seven C’s – COMMITMENT; COMMUNICATION; CHARACTER; COMPETITION; CONFIDENCE; COURAGE and CHEERFULNESS.

Successful candidates will participate in a programme of physical and intellectual activities, which will develop skills in:

  • Team working
  • Positive leadership
  • Communication
  • Problem solving
  • Decision making
