Heads up Eighth Graders!! !! You and an eighth grade buddy could win a trip to Youth Power Energy Camp this summer.
Each year, ECOEC joins Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives and electric cooperatives from across the state in sponsoring the Youth Power Energy Camp at Camp Canyon near Hinton, OK. The camp is designed to help students develop leadership skills while having lots of fun.
By forming their own cooperative business, students learn about leadership and business while interacting with other eighth graders from across the state. Campers also have the opportunity to learn about generating and distributing electricity by touring the electric generation facilities at Western Farmers Electric Cooperative in Anadarko and the offices of Caddo Electric Cooperative in Binger. Safety demonstrations are put on by linemen and students even get a chance to try their hand at riding bucket trucks and climbing poles.
And that's not all – campers start the summer out right by making new friends and taking part in a variety of activities including volleyball, swimming, ping pong, hiking, and a special “Surprise” outing.
ECOEC covers all expenses related to the camp including transportation to and from Camp Canyon.
