Sparks are flying as February rolls in. We are busy planning another full year of providing reliable electricity and fiber internet, as well as staying involved in our local community. This month is a time to celebrate care and connection – values we strive to uphold here at KREMC. One way we do this is through our youth programs and our scholarships. Here is information on some of those opportunities:

CAMP KILOWATT

We have some updates on Camp Kilowatt! Original plans for this annual camp have changed, including the location and dates. It will now take place at Happy Hollow Children’s Camp in Nashville, Indiana, from July 26-29. This camp is designed for sixth graders going into seventh grade who want to learn more about electric safety and the electric industry, or just have a fun time in general. The deadline for camp applications has been extended to May 1.

STUDENT ART CONTEST

There is still time to enter I EC’s Student Art Contest! This contest is open to all K-12 students who want to showcase their artistic talents. A winner will be selected for each grade level and each winner will receive $100, have their work featured in Indiana Connection, and have it displayed at IEC’s statewide office. Submissions are due Feb. 27!

SCHOLARSHIPS

Another opportunity for local students is our scholarship opportunities. The John H. Anglin Scholarship is a $1,000 scholarship for college students, and the 4-H scholarship is a $350 scholarship to fund a student’s 4-H project. The application deadline for these is March 31.

You can learn more and apply for all of these programs and scholarships at kremc.com/youth-programs.

We look forward to another season of investing in our youth to create a brighter future for all of us. Here’s to a February filled with enough warmth and love to counteract the frigid weather!
