Camp Kilowatt will be held at Camp Tecumseh YMCA Outdoor Center between Brookston and Delphi, Indiana. This camp experience is designed to educate current-year sixth graders about electrification, electric safety, and our cooperative business principles. Jasper County REMC provides camp accommodations, food, and general activity expenses. The application deadline is March 1.

Cooperative Calendar of Student Art Contest

Indiana Electric Cooperatives’ Cooperative Calendar of Student Art Contest is open to all K-12 students who want to create an illustration for the student art calendar. A first-place artist will be selected for each grade, and the winners will each receive a $200 prize. In addition, the artwork from each division winner will illustrate the cover and all 12 months of the calendar. Submit your art by March 29.

Bruce & Sharon Nesius Memorial Scholarship

The Bruce and Sharon Nesius Memorial Scholarship is an opportunity for high school seniors looking to further their education. A scholarship will be awarded to one successful candidate from KVHS, one from RCHS, and one from all other high schools/home schools in Jasper County REMC’s service territory. The application deadline is April 15.

4-H Electric

4-H Electric builds confidence and life-long skills. If your son, daughter, or legal ward signs up for 4-H Electric and enters a project in the Jasper County Fair, we will provide a $15 bill credit after the Fair.
