Free energy camp offered
Efficiency Smart will host a free “Super Energy Heroes Summer Camp July 21-25 at Simpson Garden Park,

The day camp is designed to help students develop an understanding of energy, its impact on our lives and
the environment, and how to use energy wisely while having fun. Through exploratory, hands-on science
projects and activities, campers will learn about the environmental and economic impacts of energy.
Students who attend the summer camp will explore renewable energy models using K-Nex to build a wind
turbine, solar car, water powered mill and a solar powered crank man.
