Each summer Santee Cooper sponsors the Energy Educators Institute, a three hour graduate course credited through Charleston Southern University. This interactive and interdisciplinary course requires a four day residential stay at Wampee, Santee Cooper’s Training and Conference Center, located on Lake Moultrie in Pinopolis, South Carolina. The setting is quite relaxing and yet proves to be the perfect place to build professional relationships and participate in a diverse learning experience. Wampee provides the unique backdrop of a once active Lowcountry plantation against which any number of modern day business, educational, and government challenges can be addressed.

The 2019 Energy Educators Institute is a three week course open to teachers and administrators. Course requirements are completed on-line during the first and third weeks and the required residential stay is completed during the second week. The dates are:

  • July 1 - 19, with the required four day residential stay at Wampee from July 9-12
  • July 8-26, with the required four day residential stay at Wampee from July 16-19
  • July 15-August 2, with the required four day residential stay at Wampee from July 23-26.

To receive three hours graduate credit, each participant must complete a pre-reading assignment, share responses with other Institute participants via CSU Black Board, maintain a daily reflective journal, develop four lesson plans using Institute resources, participate in all tours and hands-on experiences and meet attendance requirements.

The schedule during the residential stay at Wampee is from 8 AM to 9 PM daily. These hours are required to complete the contact hours necessary for course credit. During the four days, participants will be involved in activities such as walking tours at industrial plants, nature classes, and paddling a canoe. Participants must be able to participate fully in all of the experiences.

Santee Cooper provides the overnight lodging, food, and materials (Tuesday-Friday) during the Institute at Wampee. Each participant is responsible for his or her transportation to the conference center.

The total cost of the Institute is $100.00.  Checks should be made payable to Santee Cooper Energy Educators Institute. Checks will not be deposited until after March 2nd when we accept participants into each session.  Once accepted into the program, your application fee is non-refundable. 

The application and check are to be mailed to the Administrator of Educational Programs and received by March 2, 2019. Applicants are selected on a first-come, first-serve basis according to school district and post-marked date.

To apply, please go to https://www.santeecooper.com/_Assets/pdfs/Online-Forms/SC0307Ai.pdf.  You will need to complete the form and mail in your registration fee.  Due to high demand, we suggest sending in your application as soon as possible for a better chance of being accepted.  If your district is paying for your registration, please contact us.

Please forward this email about the Energy Educators Institute to your coworkers. Additional information and the on-line application can also be found on line at www.santeecooper.com/eei.
