trustees and general manager selected by the students. “The students this year
exhibited amazing leadership potential,” Shana Holsteen, Kansas Electric Cooperatives Director of Communications said. “Throughout the week, campers developed their leadership skills and learned about electric cooperatives through camp activities. It is amazing to see how much the students’ skills grow in just one week.”
The campers also took part in legislative presentations,
a light and high voltage display and a competition to build a transmission line. They explored the Steamboat Village, Old Town Steamboat Springs, went white water rafting and toured the Craig Power Plant and Trapper Mine. Harmon Electric Association is proud to support
the Youth Tour program and send our youth to develop essential leadership and teamwork skills,” said Charles Paxton, General Manager. “Our hope is that local students gained awareness of how our electric cooperatives work and how important it is for the youth to be involved in their community.”
