W ednesday,
every one at Tupper goes to
Bull Prairie for the day. At
Bull Prairie the kids learn
about survival with their
survival kits and also about
water, the ph levels and what

night hike that evening. It
was unfortunate this year
though because due to some
technical bus problems the
night hike had to be called
off. S’mores were still served
and th e ir was a T u pper

On
T hursday,
everything was packed up
and everyone headed back to
