What is Energy Camp?

Youth Power Energy Camp is designed to teach campers leadership skills while learning about rural electrification 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.
