Tipmont will sponsor 20 students at the annual Touchstone Energy Camp. The camp will be held June 9-12, 2010, at the YMCA Camp Tecumseh site in Brookston, Ind.
Sixth grade boys and girls are eligible to attend and will be selected by Tipmont to participate in the three-day program. The students’ agenda will combine traditional outdoor camp activities with environmental education, electrical safety practices and cooperative business education.
“This is a great way for students to learn about the role of electric cooperatives in their community. On top of that, they get to experience all the fun of camp,” said Jim Clark, Energy Advisor at Tipmont.
The Touchstone Energy Camp program is possible thanks to the Touchstone Energy Camp Committee, Indiana’s Rural Electric Co-ops, Hoosier Energy, Wabash Valley Power and other local sponsorships.
Information and applications will be delivered to local schools. For more information, please contact Sasha Clements at 765-339-3216 or Jim Clark at 765-339-3240. Applications must be returned to Tipmont REMC by February 19, 2010.
