This year the Rotary Club of Hall sent three students to Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment (RYPEN), a three day program for 14-17 year old students that is held in Mogo every year in March and November.
The aim of RYPEN is to challenge and grow young people by giving them a series of ideas, problems and social experiences. This acts to help them form their own values and moral standards. This is critical in the mid teenage years when they are subject to peer pressure.
Our sponsored students needed to travel to Mogo and when there where no other options available our 2011-’12 Youth Director Liz Rodger, drove our students to the camp.
RYPEN is a great opportunity for students to broaden their horizons culturally, socially and academically.
