Refuge of Hope-Bucerias (Puerto Vallarta)

Our own Adam Reese will be speaking about a possible International Service Project for our club. Here's some info on the opportunity from the website at https://refugeofhopebucerias.com.

"Refuge of Hope Bucerias A.C. was officially formed in 2020 after its founders had spent many years working together in the community at a local Children’s Shelter. As we delivered food throughout Bucerias in response to Covid-19, our hearts were stirred by the people we met and the needs we saw. What if we could serve the families in the poorest neighborhoods by providing care for their children, skill training for their teens, love and support for the many single moms and grandmas we met? What if we could offer a refuge of hope for people living in hard places?"

"Our top priority is to provide love, nutrition, education, medical care and spiritual growth to the at-risk children of Banderas Bay, especially those who are living with single moms."

"Recently we have created Women of Hope and we are making plans to build a center – possibly right next door on the lot we recently purchased – where moms can gather to create community and learn new skills."

Time to get ready for the best week of the year… RYLA!!! And WOW, has it been a crazy year. Last year, as you know, we decided to lean into the challenges of the pandemic. Working with our team of Alumni (Counselors, etc.), we created eRYLA, which was held in July of 2020. We were delightfully surprised at how the students progressed through eRYLA so similarly to what we expect to see in person. We also saw virtually no attrition. They learned so much, grew so much and had fun! 

BASIC CAMP RYLA INFORMATION July 7-11, 2021

Each student receives a secure login with access to our unique website (all Zoom links and activities are built into the site) and a retreat crate (with all of their supplies for eRYLA activities).  We would love to schedule a time to Zoom in to one of your club meetings to present this program.Costs: Camper = $300 (first year students) Trailblazers = $300 (second year students) Junior and Senior Counselors, as well as other admin staff (all alumni): Included in program costs.
