he search is on in 2017 for a few good students. Northeast Oklahoma Electric Coopera ve (REC) has several opportuni es in the coming year for area youth to put their best foot forward and, in return, receive an enriching reward.


REC is proud once again to sponsor two essay contests—one for high school juniors and another for eighth-grade students—as well as a college scholarship for area high school seniors.

If you are in the eleventh grade and a end school within the coopera ve service area of Mayes, Delaware, Craig and O awa Coun es (or Chelsea High School in Rogers County) you are eligible to enter and win this contest.


Youth Tour hopefuls can submit a wri en essay of 500 words or more on the topic: “The Future of Electricity.” Submissions must be received on or before March 10, 2017. Youth Tour winners will visit Washington, D. C., June 9-15, 2017.


Energy Camp Four eighth-graders from the coopera ve service area will enjoy a week-long adventure at Canyon


Camp near beau ful Red Rock Canyon in Hinton, Oklahoma, during the 2017 Energy Camp. A winning essay will earn these lucky eighth-graders a chance to take part in a fun and educa onal opportunity that comes around only once. A wri en essay of 500 words or fewer on the topic: “The Future of Electricity” must be submi ed by March 17, 2017. Energy Camp runs May 30-June 2, 2017.
