| WASHINGTON YOUTH TOUR |
 Once a year, Santee Electric Cooperative makes it possible for two or three high school juniors to join dozens of other South Carolina students as part of the Washington Youth Tour—a six-day, all-expenses-paid educational trip to Washington, DC. More than 1,000 high school students, all sponsored by electric cooperatives from throughout the United States, get a first-hand look at our government in action on both what it has done and what it is doing.
The tour, scheduled for the third week in June of each year, is designed to get students involved in the political process. Each year's itinerary varies, depending on the events and exhibits available.
Typical activities include visits to the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials, tours of the Capitol, the White House, and Smithsonian, rides on the Potomac on chartered boats, and shows at Ford's Theater or other performing arts centers. South Carolina students also meet with their representatives and senators.
