The students are S. Ryan Dodd, son of Steve and Michelle Dodd and Lauren Drake, daughter of Danny and Lisa Drake of Sallisaw, both students at Central School; Ashley Singleton, daughter of Lesliee Singleton of Sallisaw; and Jessica Wood, daughter of Dale and Jana Wood of Sallisaw, both students at Sallisaw School. Mills accompanied the students to camp.
Each year Cookson Hills Electric Cooperative Inc. along with Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives, sends eighth grade students to the camp to help develop leadership skills, have summertime fun, and at the same time, learn about one of rural America's most important industries - rural electrification, Mills said
The four students attending the camp this year enjoyed the pleasures that Canyon Camp had to offer. The activities included volleyball, swimming and hiking. They visited one of the largest generating facilities in Oklahoma at Anadarko where they experienced first-hand the exciting world of rural electricity, watched safety demonstrations, climbed a pole, and took bucket truck rides.
The students had the opportunity to sharpen leadership skills by working with new-found friends from every corner of the state in setting up and running their own cooperative businesses.
