Experiences with JBS

JBS takes a comprehensive approach to youth education. In addition to our educational programs, campers engage with local experts, law makers, and community activist which provides them with valuable real-world experiences. This approach can make the learning experience more engaging and memorable!

Campers cooking with three different solar ovens. These ovens use reflective surfaces to concentrate sunlight onto a cooking chamber, reaching temperatures suitable for baking, roasting, and even slow cooking food.

Campers met with Attorney General Keith Ellison as it signifies their engagement with a high-ranking law enforcement official. 

Building a ground-mounted system provides participants with valuable hands-on experience, teaching them the skills needed for careers in the renewable energy industry. 

Solar go karts offer an enjoyable and engaging way to experience renewable energy technology.

Campers toured the state capitol is an educational and enriching experience. The tour can encourage campers to become more engaged citizens by understanding how policies are made.
