JUNIORS AND SIXTH GRADERS, DON’T MISS YOUR CHANCE TO HAVE AN AMAZING SUMMER WITH THESE FREE TRIPS!

Applications are due for the 2024 Youth Tour to Washington, D.C., and Camp Kilowatt no later than March 1.

Youth Tour is a weeklong trip of a lifetime for local high school juniors, during which they will get to see the sights of our nation’s capital, meet their legislators, and hang out with over 1,500 other students their age from across the country. Camp Kilowatt is a four-day, three-night sleepaway camp experience that offers things like archery, zip lines, horseback riding and much more to area sixth graders.

If you know someone that would enjoy these opportunities, encourage them to visit www.indianayouthtour.org or www.campkilowatt.org for an online application. Both experiences are free and available to students and homeschoolers whose parent or guardian lives in the Marshall County REMC service territory.

Call the REMC office at 574-936-3161 for questions.
