my camp councilor

Summer camp

Another hot night at summer camp called for another scary story. My camp counselor finished the story and then made us go to sleep. The weather was almost as scary as the story. It was pouring rain and a storm was on the way. I went to sleep anyways because I was worn out from running around camp. 

After an hour of shut eye a gust of wind caused the tent flaps to untie and fly open. Everyone shot up from their beds. "Its okay! stay in your beds." Said my counselor. Everybody listened but was afraid of what could be next. She got up at tied it closed. "See we are safe, just the wind." She got back into bed and went back to sleep. That very moment a loud boom caused chatter among the whole tent area. The rain began again and the storm was very bad. It was causing our  tent to nearly tip over. The camps sirens began to sound. The sirens only sound when the camp wants us out of our tents. My counselor lead us out of the tent and met up with other tent groups. We soon realized that our only flashlight was in the bathroom building. My consoler ran as fast as she could to grab it. She ran back with it in her hand and led everybody down to the main building. It was really windy which made the sand on the ground whirl. She comforted the little campers who were afraid. When we got inside the whole camp was huddled inside. 

"I need my inhaler." Said a little girl. My camp councilor looked at the others and quickly realized shed be the one to get it. 

"Where is it?"

"The nurses cabin." My camp councilor nodded and then set out into the storm again to get the inhaler. The nurses cabin was a long walk from the main building, even in nice weather. She ran as fast as she could through the storm desperate to find the inhaler. When she did, she ran back. 

"Here!" She smiled big and handed the girl her inhaler. She sat down and caught her breathe. 

Running into a crazy storm was not required for her temporary summer camp job, but she did it and I will never forget.
