GREENFIELD — NineStar Connect will sponsor two students at the annual Touchstone Energy Camp to be held June 5-8, at Camp Tecumseh in Brookston.

Students entering 7th grade in 2019 are eligible to attend and will be selected by their local cooperative to participate in the three-day program. The students’ agenda will combine traditional outdoor camp activities with environmental education, electrical safety practices and cooperative business education.

“This is a great way for students to learn about the role of the electric cooperative in their community. On top of that, they get to experience all the fun of camp,” said David Spencer, Marketing Director at NineStar Connect.
