The Story Of Gerber

Brenden Lamp

Brenden's POV:

Normal days, fun days, Gerber 2019. There was a small storm around the 17th, but other than that, the camp was going well. We watched "Firebowl", which was a staff-made comedy skit. We saw lots of things, from watching a chalkboard with 1975, to hearing a small explosion, and watching the staff members("Kool-aid" and another one) pour tomato sauce and sand on each other. We left with small clouds rolling in. I fell asleep around 11:30. I never thought much about those clouds. Tomorrow, we would leave summer camp.

7-20-2019:

I wake up, hearing loud sounds of thunder and rain pouring. Jameson(a former scout), who woke me up, said 4 words. "It's storming really bad." I see my watch, and the time reads 1:48 AM(I think). I stumble out of my tent so fast, I had one boot on and one tennis shoe on. I walk out of my tent and walk over to the campsite, only to find I stumbled across the wrong site. Their scoutmaster was pretty nice and he led me back to the right campsite. We set out for the dining hall about 1/4 of a mile away. The lightning kept booming loudly. We walk a long trail with tons of deep puddles. Along the way there were several long fields we had to cross. We eventually got there, seeing all of the tired people. They offered marshmallows but I was so tired that I did not even want any. I fell asleep on a dining table around 3 and woke up about 4:30. We apparently all had to leave the dining hall so we left and got back to camp around 5:30, with it still storming. I remember reading around 6:00 and not getting any more sleep. Wegot out and left the camp okay, but very tired. I was wrapped up in a blanket for like the whole day with how tired I was
