Kids at Energy Camp will have fun while building valuable leadership skills that will last a lifetime. They’ll hear speakers address topics such as: Life before Electricity, Managing a Rural Electric Cooperative, and Being a Co- op Board Member. They’ll tour Caddo Electric Cooperative, witness a pole-top rescue demonstration, and visit Western Farmer’s Electric Cooperative for a facili- ties tour.
