Camp Kilowatt
Ella Guetig, Campbellsburg, was sponsored by Orange County REMC to attend Camp Kilowatt. The camp was held June 5–8 at Camp Tecumseh in Brookston. More than 90 campers representing 28 Indiana electric cooperatives attended the event, along with chaperones from local co-ops.
Camp Kilowatt featured many typical camp activities such as horseback riding, zip lines, high-ropes, swimming, and archery. The camp also includes electrical safety demonstrations, bucket truck rides (pictured above), environmental education, electrical safety demonstrations, and cooperative business education.

Each summer, electric co-ops select students who will be entering their senior year in the fall to attend this unique experience. More photos from the trip are posted at myremc.coop.
The steps of the Capitol Building are a popular photo location during the Electric Cooperative Youth Tour. Orange County REMC delegate Lee Schrock is pictured with the other 64 Indiana delegates.
