East Texas Rural Electric Youth Seminar
(ETREYS)


2011 ETREYS Participants

Houston County Electric Cooperative, along with eight other cooperatives in the East Texas area, sponsors a leadership camp called ETREYS (East Texas Rural Electric Youth Seminar). It is held on the Lon Morris campus in Jacksonville, usually during the second week of July each year. The camp is offered to high school sophomores and juniors with an "A" and "B" average.

The 2011 delegates were William Brannen, Ryley Cormack, Karoline Evans, Emily Fambrough, Jessica Ferguson, Steven Hightower, Brandon Ledbetter, Brittany McCoy, Matthew Millican, Heath Parker, Kobly Patton, and Ally White.  Each of these delegates represented your cooperative well at camp with their leadership, talents, and overall citizenship.

HCEC’s scholarship was awarded to Ryley Cormack of Lovelady.  Ms. Cormack was also selected by her peers to return as a youth director next year.

Speakers from all walks of life including teachers, athletes and professional leaders take part in the daily sessions. Students may take advantage of motivational and leadership skills training along with training on how to apply themselves in everday situtations.

ETREYS 2013 will be held June 24th through June 28th at East Texas Baptist University in Marshall, Texas.  Applications for ETREYS 2013 can be downloaded here.
