Oklahoma Farm Bureau is now accepting applications for Capitol Camp, set for June 12-13, 2024, at the Oklahoma state Capitol in Oklahoma City.
Capitol Camp is an immersive two-day legislative experience for incoming high school juniors and seniors to learn about Oklahoma’s legislative process and how bills become law through a mock legislature held on the floor of the Oklahoma House of Representatives.
Prior to the camp, students will have the opportunity to write a piece of legislation about an issue important to them with help from mentors through a series of Zoom calls. Students will then discuss, lobby and vote on their legislation during the two-day camp.
The Capitol Camp application can be found at okfb.news/applications. Completed applications must be submitted no later than April 1, 2024. Applications may be submitted to Holly Carroll at holly.carroll@okfb.org or by mail to Oklahoma Farm Bureau, Attn: Holly Carroll, 2501 N. Stiles Ave., Oklahoma City, OK 73105.
The cost to attend Capitol Camp is $50 per student. This covers all meals, lodging and transportation for the duration of the event. OKFB will contact selected students with further instructions and payment information.
For questions about Capitol Camp, contact Holly Carroll at (405) 523-2300.
