Sixth graders can attend Touchstone Energy Camp

Touchstone Energy® Camp
10 Years of Commitment to Community

In the past 10 years Touchstone Energy ® Camp has helped to keep over 900 sixth grade students safe around electricity, while also enjoying outdoor camp activities. Once again Tipmont REMC will continue this time honored tradition and sponsor 20 students to attend the 10th Anniversary Touchstone Energy® Camp to be held June 6-9, at Camp Tecumseh in Brookston, IN.

Students will enjoy traditional outdoor camp activities such as horseback riding, zip lining and swimming, while also receiving a lesson in safe electricity, a live line safety demonstration and bucket truck rides.

“This is a fun and exciting way for students to learn about electric safety and the role of electric cooperatives in their community. On top of that, they get to experience all the fun of camp,” said Jim Clark, energy advisor at Tipmont REMC.

The Touchstone Energy® Camp program was developed by a committee of electric cooperative employees from around the state of Indiana. It is funded in part by Hoosier Energy, Wabash Valley Power Association, Indiana’s Rural Electric Cooperatives, Indiana Statewide Association of REC’s, and local sponsors.

Sixth grade students eligible to attend should fill out an application and return to Tipmont REMC by February 24, 2012. Applications are available at local schools and online at www.tipmont.org. For more details, contact Sasha Clements at 1-800-726-3953.
