From the floor…
Geoff Brentnall – RYLA. Matt Walker recently attended the RYLA Camp at Kangaroobie. The program is designed to develop leadership skills for 18-25 year old participants. Leadership, goal-setting, motivation, outdoor activities and concerts are just a few of the challenges.
Matt spoke to the club of his experience at the RYLA camp. He expressed thanks to the club for allowing him to attend and it was clear that this was a very rewarding experience for him. Matt spoke well before the members, and shared details of his experience meeting 40 unknown people, getting to know them through activities like – having the car break down on the way to the camp, enjoying an ‘open kitchen’, public speaking, low ropes, a movie, origami, group presentations, raft crossings, and developing communication, confidence, knowledge and using the SMART rule – Specific, measurable, action orientated, realistic, timed.
