Electric Field Trip to Surry Nuclear Power Plant

Currituck County 4-H is hosting a field trip to Surry Va to the Nuclear Power Plant on August 1, 2024 for youth ages 10 and up.

Participants will meet at the NC Cooperative Extension , Currituck Center office located at 120 Community Way in Barco at 8:00am and travel to Surry VA. This will be a fun filled day all about Energy! Youth will visit Dominion Energy’s Surry Nuclear Power Station and learn how the station works, see models of a nuclear reactor and containment structure, and the nuclear energy path; from uranium mining to electricity production. At the interactive learning center they will participate in several activities that show the many ways that energy is generated to produce electricity.

Our return trip includes a stop at the Bowlero Chesapeake Bowling Alley where we bowl a few games while identifying all the types of energy necessary to roll a bowling ball down the alley to hit the pins. Youth will need to bring or make sure they wear socks for that part of the field trip. Participants will also need to bring a bag lunch.
