For nearly three decades, the electric cooperatives of Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming have conducted an outstanding educational seminar known as the Cooperative Youth Leadership Camp. Every July, nearly 100 high school students travel to Glen Eden resort near Steamboat Springs after being selected by their local cooperatives as participants.

The primary objective of the camp is to provide an educational experience for young people on the organization and operation of a cooperative. The 2027 CEEI Cooperative Youth Leadership Camp also offers a great opportunity for high school students to learn about electricity, government, and build on their communication and leadership skills. Participants also enjoy many fun activities, including sand volleyball, a dance, pizza party, a banquet, a trip to the top of Mt. Werner, and a raft trip on the Colorado River!

Applications are open to high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors whose parents or guardians are MCREA members.

Next summer's camp begins Sat., July 10, 2027 and ends Thurs., July 15, 2027.

Application Deadline: Friday, January 8, 2027
