Camp Kilowatt is a fun and unique camp experience for sixth-grade students going into seventh grade across Indiana. In 2026, camp takes place June 3rd-6th at Camp Tecumseh in Brookston, Indiana.

The Washington D.C. Youth Tour will take place June 14th-21st, 2026. IEC sponsors a group of students going into their senior year of high school to go on a life-changing educational adventure to Washington, D.C.

The 2026 Youth Tour trip's expenses are paid for students selected to participate. Applications are due by February 13th, 2026.
Page Day is January 27th, 2026. During Page Day, students explore the Statehouse, step into the role of a lawmaker through a mock bill activity, hear from inspiring government leaders, and connect face-to-face with their state legislators. Students also get an inside look at how laws are made and the role citizens play in the democratic process. The program is open to high school students who can provide their own transportation to and from the Statehouse. Application deadline is January 9th, 2026.
