Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment (RYPEN)
RYPEN holds weekend camps in leadership for Grade 10 students. It is an Australian designed project for young people aged 14 to 17. 
Camps are held in both the South and North of Tasmania
RYPEN sets out to broaden horizons and lift aspirations in a supervised residential weekend seminar. It's aim is to communicate to young people a series of ideas, problems and social experiences which will assist them in forming their own values and moral standards and broaden their horizons culturally, socially and academically.
Nominations are encouraged through Rotary clubs approaching local high schools. They are directed to the district RYPEN chairman for selection and advice. The cost for the weekend is usually carried by the sponsoring Rotary club.Rypennians, as with other youth program nominees, should be encouraged to address their sponsoring Rotary club on their return.
