Looking for some electrifying experiences for your student this summer? Send them to Camp Kilowatt! This year, Camp Kilowatt will take place July 26th-29th at Happy Hollow Children’s Camp in Nashville, IN. Camp Kilowatt is a fun and unique camp experience for sixth grade students going into seventh grade across Indiana. Here, kids will have the chance to learn more about energy and electricity while making new friends and enjoying fun activities and games. We interviewed two students who went to camp Kilowatt 2024, Carson Haack and Landon Miller.
“If there is a downed power line and you had a car accident, never get out of your vehicle because you never know when it’s on and power lines can affect the ground around you, so you want to stay inside your car and wait for help to arrive,” Carson recounts one of the many valuable safety lessons he learned at camp. Education about electric safety and the electric industry as a whole is a key part of Camp Kilowatt.
Not only is it educational though, but it is also an absolute blast, with activities like a kayaking, horseback riding, hiking, and more.
When asked about their favorite activities, Landon responded, “Definitely the ziplining because there were a lot of kids that were really scared of heights and going really fast and there’s a lot of kids that were really excited and love heights. Personally, I really like heights and going fast, so I thought it was really, really cool.”
After describing all the fun they had and the lessons they had learned, both students said they would recommend the camp to others.
“It was super fun, you can make new friends, you can have friends that you knew going there, and there’s lots of fun activities. You get to learn a lot of really cool stuff, and it’s just a really fun time,” concluded Landon.
