| 4-H Electric Camp is a fun-filled, rewarding adventure in
electricity at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. At
camp, you will learn what electricity is and how it works.
You will work with electrical specialists from across the
state
in learning centers. Each learning center will consist of hands-on
activities so that you can learn by doing. You will also have
the chance to meet other 4-H'ers from across Tennessee and
explore careers in energy, electricity and basic sciences.
Each camper
will receive a certificate, a T-shirt and items that you have
made at camp. It's really an electrifying experience! |
