EnergyVenture Camp
EnergyVenture Camp is a fun camp that introduces middle school-age students to career opportunities in the energy industry. Thanks to our industry sponsor, students attend camp at no cost!
A Fun, First Step Toward a Bright Future
This is a summer camp like no other. At EnergyVenture, middle school students (ages 12-14 years old) enjoy fun hands-on activities that introduce them to fields within the energy industry. They perform lab experiments, win prizes for best-in-class team efforts, take a behind-the-scenes tour of a production facility, and hear from experts in the field. Along the way, kids learn about career opportunities that they have right here in the Gulf Coast region in a growing industry.
The 2026 Energy Venture camps were held during the first two weeks in June. Want to be the first to know about next year's camp? Join our email mailing list, and an Energy Venture staff member will keep you updated with the latest news and details.
