|
From the mother of our RYLA Camper: Hi Linda, I wanted to take a minute to share with you my thoughts on RYLA this passed week, that my son attended. He came home beaming and saying that it was the BEST week ever! He could not even share his experience fast enough as he was still on a “high”. The relationships he made were clearly life changing. Last night he went thru the pictures with us, each picture was a story to be shared. Needless to say he/they are working on a reunion soon. Thank you for putting up with my uncertainty and questions. You really made me feel at ease and comfortable with the whole experience. Thank you again RYLA! |
