Fun was once again in full swing at Camp Kilowatt, held June 5-8 at Camp Tecumseh in Brookston, Indiana.

This fun, powerful, and unique experience brings incoming seventh graders to a 650-acre campground for a combination of traditional camp activities (e.g., archery, ziplining, swimming) and educational opportunities in alternative energy, internet safety, electricity generation and transmission, and and more (including a live-line demonstration by Tipmont linemen as seen at right).

Developed by a committee of electric cooperative employees from Indiana, Camp Kilowatt is partly funded by Indiana’s electric cooperatives, Hoosier Energy, Wabash Valley Power Alliance, Indiana Electric Cooperatives, and other industry partners.

Many thanks to Tipmont’s Board of Directors for supporting attendance this year for nine young people who call our service area home!
