Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, May 21,1997 - THREE Tupper experience fun for all involved BEO scholarship winners announced Photo by Lindsey Waterland Tupper counselors The weather was good, the food was "really good" and the counselors, "great" for the annual Heppner-Ione Tupper experience this year, according to Heppner Elementary School teachers Janme Allen and Bill Ewing. Ewing and Allen, along with lone teacher Dean Robinson and HES teacher Dave Gunderson, this year's camp coordinator, taught at the sixth-grade outdoor school which was held May 5-8 at the Tupper Work Station. The four teachers, high school counselors, a cook and a Forest S ervice re p re s e n ta tiv e accompanied 37 kids from Heppner and 16 from lone. Janell Lacey, with the Forest Service, coordinated plant and forestry study. Monday and Tuesday, the students have recreation time in the afternoon where they can choose from a variety of activities, including riflery, archery, hiking, games and arts and crafts. The week definitely isn't all fun and games, as the students study map and compass reading, weather, soil, wildlife, forestry, water study and survival. On Wednesday, the entourage went to Bull Prairie where the kids went fishing-one kid caught six fish-and hiked around the lake, accompanied by the counselors. That evening they made their own fires and cooked their own hobo stew. Campfires are a "big thing," say Allen and Ewing, with singing, entertainment and Interesting skits. The campers are also responsible for chores, working in the kitchen, cleaning up their cabins, preparing for cabin inspections, weather duty and flag ceremony duty. They also decorate in front of their cabins to make them special. But the best part of the week is the cooperation and sense of community among the campers. "It's nice to see the kids working together," said Allen. "It's really a week of self reliance. You have to work together. If you bicker, you don’t get along very well."
