RYLA is a 4-day leadership workshop that is going to be held January 12-155 at Fort Huachuca. This workshop is for high school freshmen to junior, 14-17 years of age. If you know of kids that would be a good candidate, please contact President Chris for more information and application. Please note the change of date for this workshop.
