This year 32 kids from Heppner and six kids from lone attended Outdoor School at Tupper. For four days they lived in cabins they cleaned themselves. Classes were held outdoors. Instead of watching television and playing video games in the evenings, they sang songs around the campfire. Patriotic songs, familiar songs, even songs made up by the campers themselves. Every evening they had a flag ceremony and taps. Glen Ward taught them how to fold and handle a flag. Even with rain and bad weather the first couple of evenings, kids took night hikes and played games with their counselors. Phyllis Danielson, principal of Heppner Elementary School, feels the sixth graders learn some valuable lessons through their experiences at Tupper. "They learn responsibility in a safe environment. Helping with chores and living in nature boosts their self esteem and their self respect." In addition to the four main staff people. Dean Robinson, Karen Smith-Griffith, Jannie Allen and Kay Alldntt, lots of people come up and help each year. Gary Hunt from lone High School taught a weather class. Glen Ward taught classes about wild life. Brian Spivey and Keith Hanson gave archery lessons in the evening. Clint Krebs took the students on a nature hike and taught them about wildflowers. Krebs's family collects wildflower specimens and he said he'd buy milkshakes for kids if they could find wildflowers that he wasn't able to identify. There were several. Clint's son Cameron was a first time counselor from lone High School. A sophomore, he was the youngest counselor this year "I liked helping the kids. They were coming asking me questions, trusting my advice, trusting my answers. You realize you have to be responsible and grown up." Cameron also helped with ¿he wildflower identification "They collected several flowers we didn't identify up there. We're still working on identifying them." On Wednesday they went to Bull Prairie. They made fishing poles out of willow branches. Some kids even caught fish using their poles. A favorite class was outdoor survival, taught by Randy Rayburn. Groups of five to six students were given 30 minutes to build a shelter from what they'd brought with them in their survival kits and what was available in the environment. Bill Ewing taught a class called "Creatures of the Lake.” Meghan Bailey, a first time counselor from Photo by Debbie Harper Heppner High School, helped with Heppner Elementary School sixth graders observe during a lesson at Tupper Outdoor School. that class. "I had more fun as a counselor than as a kid going, because 1 got to meet all the kids, to work with all of them."
