TSE Sports Camps
Jones-Onslow EMC is pleased to offer Touchstone Energy Sports Camp Scholarships to basketball camps on university campuses this summer. Young women can apply for a scholarship to attend the Wolfpack Women’s Basketball Camp at N.C. State University in Raleigh. Young men can apply for a scholarship to attend the Carolina Basketball School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Two students from JOEMC’s service territory will be selected for the scholarships, which cover all expenses at the overnight camps. Campers will stay in dorms and experience life on a college campus and also practice drills with NCAA coaches and athletes. Beyond the physical benefits of playing sports, campers will gain skills that will develop their character and help them excel on and off the court, like working as a team and connecting with new friends.
Students who will be in sixth or seventh grade during the 2025-2026 school year are eligible to apply. All applicants must have a parent or guardian’s signature, and scholarship winners are responsible for their own transportation to and from camp.
The deadline to apply is March 31.
Approximately 1,800 high school students gathered in Washington, DC, June 15-21 as delegates to the Electric Cooperative Youth Tour. Dozens of North Carolina students, including four local delegates sponsored by Jones-Onslow EMC, participated in the weeklong opportunity.
These four local high school students, Eden Norris of Jacksonville High School, Caleb Snyder of Jones Senior High School, Malachi Reynolds of Onslow Early College, and Christian Morgan of Dixon High School, were selected to represent Jones-Onslow EMC on the Youth Tour. During their time in D.C., they not only learned about electric cooperatives and toured the city’s historic monuments and museums, but also honed their leadership skills, built a national peer network, and engaged in meaningful conversations with elected officials.
Two alternates will be chosen for this program. If they are not called to attend the Washington DC Youth Tour, they will be given the opportunity to attend the Cooperative Leadership Camp. https://www.ccnc.coop/cooperative-leadership-camp
