Youth Power Energy Camp is designed to teach campers leadership skills while learning about rural electri cation and electrical safety during this four-day summer camp in Hinton, Okla.
Campers will have the opportunity to step inside a set of linemen’s hooks and climb a utility pole, take a ride toward the sky in a bucket truck, learn how electricity is generated and meet Pepper the robot!
While the camp is grounded on understanding electricity, traditional summer camp activities such as swimming, hiking, basketball and a rope course are all on this year’s agenda.
Central Rural Electric Cooperative will sponsor two eighth-grade students who attend school within Central’s service area to attend this camp for free.
Energy camp rst began in 1989 when electric cooperatives from across Oklahoma sent students to learn about rural electri cation and electrical safety. Since then, more than 850 young people have participated.
Wannabe campers need to submit a 500-word essay to mycentral.coop/ youth-programs on how Central helps you and your community no later than March 31.
Join other eighth-grade students from across Oklahoma from May 30 to June 2 at this amazing summer camp! Apply online by scanning the QR code below.
