Youth Programs
Rotary Alberta Youth Entrepreneurship Camp
Ages 13-15
RAYEC is a week-long camp that takes place every August for youth ages 13- 15 who are interested in learning about business and entrepreneurship. The main focus of this camp is to educate youth about marketing, advertising, preparing a cash-flow statement and writing a business plan. Campers set up their own businesses and use real money which they borrow from actual bankers. The last day is “Business Day” at the camp, where campers have the opportunity to open and operate their businesses. The youth also get to participate in many fun recreational activities throughout their week at camp.
Leaders of Tomorrow

Established in 1996, the community-focused Volunteer Leadership Awards celebrate the contributions and accomplishments of outstanding volunteers in our community in a partnership between the Town of Okotoks, Western Wheel, and Okotoks Rotary Club. The awards promote the value of volunteering and serve as an inspiration for others to embrace community involvement and become volunteers.
