News & Notes

CHEC, along with OAEC, sponsor eighth grade students for Energy Camp each year. Oklahoma’s rural electric cooperatives have been sending kids to the camp for nearly 29 years. Energy Camp was founded on three principles: cooperation, teamwork, and development of leadership skills.

Since inception in 1989, more than 1,500 students across Oklahoma have experienced the camp. Many have gone on to participate in the Youth Tour program. Energy campers walk away from camp with sharper leadership skills and new-found friends from every corner of the state.

The students experienced first-hand the exciting world of rural electricity. They learned about “life before electricity,” watched electrical safety demonstrations, climbed poles, and rode in a bucket truck. Each student realized the value of trust and dependability by participating in the Canyon Camp ropes course. Students also formed their own “Coke and Candy Co-op,” which allowed them to set up and run their own cooperative business, including electing a board of directors and a general manager.

For more information about “YouthPower” Energy Camp, visit our website at www.cooksonhills.com or contact Donna Rhodes, Youth Tour/Energy Camp Coordinator, at 918-775-2211.
