Tupper Fire and Fuels Career Camp held ~ The Tupper Fire and Fuels Career Camp, a week- long residential camp de signed to spark the interest of high school seniors in a career with the U.S. Forest Service, with an emphasis on fire and fuels manage ment, was once again held. Objectives for the camp in clude maintaining a diverse workforce and encouraging that diversity through in formation sharing with po tential candidates about fire and fuels as a career choice, and fostering mutually sup portive partnerships with local communities through the school districts. The first Tupper Fire and Fuels Career Camp was held in October 2007. Students were recruited from the three high schools in Morrow County. Sixty applications were handed out, 18 applications were received, and 14 students ‘graduated’ from the first year’s camp. The camp was broadly supported by the Morrow County School District, our primary partner. In addition, Oregon Depart ment of Forestry (ODF), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Blue Mountain and Central Or egon Community Colleges, and five National Forests participated in the camp’s instruction and develop ment. The curriculum was designed to provide a broad exposure to our hiring au thorities, educational op portunities, financial aid and scholarship options, map reading and orienteer ing, fire ecology and natural resource management, haz ardous fuels reduction, and fire suppression techniques. Participants in the first years' camp were encouraged to apply for seasonal jobs with the Umatilla National Forest and cooperating agencies for the summer of 2008, and so far seven of the participants have been hired. Nearly 60% of the camp partici- pants and new hires are from under-represented groups such as women, minorities, and people with certain dis abilities. The Umatilla Na tional Forest is an excellent training ground for new em ployees. The National For est frequently has complex wildland and prescribed fires, and so has ample need for temporary positions (approximately 60) and nu merous permanent seasonal vacancies each year. The Forest has long standing positive connections with local communities and stu dents. These relationships help provide for a solid foundation for success. Lo cal demographics and popu lation trends make Mor row County and Hermiston School Districts an excellent recruiting ground. The Hep pner Ranger District’s work center, Tupper, provides an ideal setting for the camp. The long-term vi sion for the project is to create a self-sustaining ca reer orientation camp that is strongly supported through partnerships with our local communities. The camp wants to maintain a high level of participation from women, minorities, and persons with disabilities, and to provide a portal from which camp graduates may obtain permanent positions in fire and fuels throughout the region.
