JR RYLA Teams working in groups in the Dining/Assembly Hall.
After helping to launch the JR RYLA program years ago with one of the two Founders' Donations, and assisting in organizing this dynamic leadership training camp for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders, Sunup Rotary members continue to volunteer their time and abilities each year to contribute to the success of the program. From its inception, our JR RYLA has been held at Camp Wamatochick, located 6 miles south of Prescott on Senator Highway, in the tall pines of Prescott National Forest.

An Asian man went to the U.S. Embassy for his visa interview before traveling to America. The officer asked, “Which city are you planning to visit in the United States?”
The man answered. “San Jose.”
The officer smiled and corrected him, “In America, it’s pronounced “San Hosey.” The letter J sounds like an H there.”
The man nodded and said, “Oh, I understand.”
The officer then asked, ”And how long do you plan to stay in the U.S.?”
The man confidently replied, ”From Hanuary until maybe Hune… or possibly Huiy.”
