Energy Camp

Camp Dates: May 26-28, 2026

Application Deadline: April 1, 2026

 

A three-day action-packed adventure for seventh-grade students entering eighth-grade, Energy Camp helps develop leadership skills and promotes teamwork while teaching about cooperative enterprises, the rural electrification program, and electrical safety. Energy Camp will take place May 26-28, 2026. PEC will sponsor up to three students to the camp at Canyon Camp, near Hinton, Okla.

Energy Camp offers more than traditional summer camp activities like swimming, hiking, basketball, and a ropes course (although we have those things). Energy Campers also have the unique opportunity to climb a utility pole using line equipment, ride in the basket of a bucket truck, create and run a co-op business, and develop the leadership skills integral to success. They’ll take home a new-found confidence and a host of new friends from all over Oklahoma.

Students currently enrolled in seventh grade and will enter eighth grade in the fall, and who live within PEC’s service territory are eligible to apply for a spot at Energy Camp.
