Bright Futures is a science camp for Indigenous youth ages 10-13.

Designed to inspire interest and promote careers in the electricity sector by engaging young people in hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) learning activities and continuing to evolve based on lessons learned since 2010.

Bright Futures is delivered by our partner Elephant Thoughts, a national charity dedicated to promoting the availability of quality education for children throughout the world. The camp is fully subsidized and delivered at no cost to the participants of the host community.

For 2024, EHRC is delivering camps in:
