Like the lively blue jays and the scampering squirrels. Morrow County
sixth graders live it up at the annual outdoor school held at Tupper Guard
Station each year.
But the escape from classrooms is a fun-filled learning experience that
has to be observed to be appreciated. The dedication of a few teachers hur
rying to teach lifetime skilis and environmental awareness is much like chip
munks scurrying to gather a wintertime food supply.
Just as that chipmunk depends on stored food sources, basic survival skills
learned by students at camp could be a life-saving resource in these students’
lives.
Every day there are stories about natural disasters, isolated accidents or
people lost in remote areas; but we all seem to think those things happen
only to other people. However, simple precautions, such as these students
learned, could avert a disaster.
People seldom think about being self-sufficient at times. But simple pro
visions in a vehicle could alleviate even minor discomforts if one is strand
ed. Though we live in a rural area, many folks don’t even know how to
change a car tire. And it takes little space in a vehicle to carry a jug of
water, a flashlight, matches, staples or candy bars, a warm blanket or a
piece of plastic.
Do many people know what plants are edible? Or how many people know
the differences in tree species? I’ll bet these kids remember. And they also
will know if available water can be made safe to drink.
Can you make a fishing pole with a willow stick and safety pins? These
youngsters did, and they proved that those poles work. And while then-
survival shelters were flimsy due to lack of time, they kept the basic fun
damentals in mind. And given time. I’d wager on their construction of more
stable shelters. For instance, using only resources at hand, twisted moss
strands to tie plastic to limbs was an ingenious idea.
Outdoor recreation is increasing by leaps and bounds. But this society
is so convenience-oriented that we neglect to consider the consequences
when modern technology fails us.
^
I would be willing to wager that these students who attended this outdoor
school won’t be people who randomly dump garbage or deliberately destroy
the environment. It’s unfortunate that big city youngsters den’t have fhe
opportunity to learn more about man's interdepenaency on our natural
resources and also to learn that the environment can be protected while mak
ing the most of renewable resources.
A lot of credit for this learning experience goes to Don Cole, who in
itiated this program here 16 years ago. There is also much input into the
program by the teachers, who design the courses and are willing to imple
ment them. It also takes high school students willing to serve as counselors
to assist these large student groups. Good job!
