Loudon County Club – Youth of the Month – July

Rylee

“I’m ready to climb the BIG rock wall!” exclaims 8 year-old Rylee, a member of Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley – Loudon County Club. “For months now, I’ve been practicing climbing on the little rock wall outside on the playground. I’m getting pretty good at it and the staff has encouraged me to go after the big rock wall inside the Club – and I’m going to do it!

The Club has taught me to face my fears and conquer them. So in a few weeks, I’ll climb the big rock wall. I’m not too scared, because I know the staff will be right there with me and talk me through each step. I’ll watch some other kids do it first right before I try it, so that I know exactly how to do it. I’m really excited to try it!”
