Culpeper Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on Jan. 21
Rappahannock Electric Cooperative’s (REC) Youth Tour gives high school juniors an opportunity to learn leadership skills, hang out with peers from across Virginia, Maryland and Delaware – and have fun while doing it.
COVID-19 has changed the usual Youth Tour routine, but REC continues to work other Virginia electric cooperatives to bring local students a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Participants of the 2022 Youth Tour will get a fun and jam-packed trip to Williamsburg where they will learn about the electric cooperative industry, meet their local legislators, tour historic sites, and have some fun at Busch Gardens.
Natalee Coates, a Madison County High School student, made lifetime memories on last year’s Youth Tour trip.
“I had a great time on REC’s Youth Tour,” she said. “My favorite part was speaking with Delegates Jay Jones and Emily Brewer. They were amazing to speak with and I learned so much from them.”
This year’s trip will run from Monday, June 20, through Friday, June 24. The schedule is packed with educational and fun activities – as well as visits to historical sites.
Applications for REC’s Youth Tour are due by Feb. 25.
