Each year, IEC joins the Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives and electric cooperatives from across the state in sponsoring the Youth Power Energy Camp at Camp Canyon near Hinton, Okla. The four-day camp is designed to help eighth-grade students develop leadership skills while having lots of fun and learning about how energy works.

The contest consists of completing a 300-500 word essay on the provided topic. A panel of judges will select the winners, who will head to Camp Canyon that summer. IEC covers all expenses related to the camp, including transportation to and from Camp Canyon.

What happens at Energy Camp?

Energy Camp has something exciting for everyone! Whether you’re the most outgoing individual or maybe a more reserved person, you will have a great time at Energy Camp.

Here are just a few of the fun activities:

  • participate in various team building group activities
  • learn the science behind electricity
  • BE A LINEWORKER for the day! Campers will have an opportunity to ride in a bucket truck, climb a pole, watch a live electric safety demo, check out an EV car showcase, interact with a robot … and much more... like swimming!
