Youth Power Energy Camp is designed to help
you develop your leadership skills, have summertime
fun, and at the same time learn about one of
rural America’s most important industries
– rural electrification.

|
As one of the outstanding young people selected
by your local cooperative to participate in the
Electric Cooperatives of Oklahoma Youth Power
Energy Camp, you’ll spend June 1 through
June 4 enjoying the pleasures the Red Rock Canyon
area offers – from volleyball tournaments
and swimming to hiking and roasting marshmallows
over an evening campfire. And best of all, you’ll
make friendships that will last a lifetime!
Join us at Camp Canyon, near the beautiful Red
Rock Canyon, where you’ll experience first-hand
the exciting world of rural electricity –
watch safety demonstrations, climb a pole, watch
a co-op crew at work, and tour one of the largest
generating facilities in Oklahoma. Plus you’ll
have the opportunity to sharpen your leadership
skills by working with new found friends from
every corner of the state to set up and run your
own cooperative business.

| Washington
D.C. Youth Tour |
| If you are a high school junior, you
could be a winner of the Rural Electric Cooperative
Youth Tour to Washington, D.C. for a week during
June. It’s free, it’s exciting and it’s
fun! You’ll join some 1250 high school juniors
from across the United States to learn more about
government, rural electrification, leadership and
electric cooperatives.
The trip begins with a “Get Acquainted Banquet”
in Oklahoma City, where everyone meets, makes
new acquaintances and has an evening of fun. After
arriving in Washington, D.C., the tour of our
nation’s capitol includes days filled with
sightseeing, a riverboat trip on the Potomac and
breakfast with Oklahoma’s Congressional delegation.
Students also attend a series of educational seminars
to learn more about government, the cooperative
form of business, and the business of rural electrification.
Each electric cooperative sponsors contests to
select students who will represent their service
area as well as the state of Oklahoma during the
Youth Tour trip. The contest will require you
to prepare a talk, take a test or write an essay
on some phase of rural electrification. Contact
Harmon Electric Association to learn more about
deadlines, specific requirements, rules and information.
HEA will also provide any necessary materials
for you. Impartial judges will grade you on your
subject knowledge, originality, neatness, and
grammar.
