Washington D.C. Youth Tour

Once a year, a high school students who has represented North Central Public Power District at the Nebraska Rural Electric Association Youth Energy Camp has the opportunity to compete to be selected by North Central PPD’s Board of Directors to represent North Central PPD on the Washington Youth Tour. This top-notch leadership experience and tour of our nation's capitol includes meetings with state and national leaders and leadership training, as well as visits to all the major sights. Participants join over 1,500 other students from around the nation for one incredible week in our nation's capital – a once in a life-time opportunity.

Whitney Fritz daughter of Rick and Jeannie Fritz of Creighton, NE represented North Central PPD at the 2011 Washington D.C. Youth Tour. Whitney said, “the week I spent in Washington D.C. was an awesome experience. Our nation’s capital is an amazing place to visit. Each day during the tour we woke earlier to start our site seeing which went into the evening. We toured places such as the White House to Capital Hill to Gettysburg and to other countless monuments”. She also said, “she thought the youth energy camp North Central selected her to attend the previous summer was the best thing that happened to her, but what she didn’t know was she was going to experience something even better as a result of attending the camp. This was a once in a life time opportunity and I am grateful for North Central selecting me to go on the youth tour to D.C.” To view some of the photos taken during this tour click on the following link http://photos.youthtour.org/
