In the tranquility of night at Camp Ao-Wa-Kiya, a sudden disturbance broke the peace when a tree came crashing down onto a cabin housing young campers and their counselors, thrusting the camp into an unexpected emergency. FOX 2 reported that the incident occurred just before 2 a.m. earlier today, trapping one of the adult counselors in her bed and creating a tense scenario of rescue and recovery.

Despite the potential for tragedy, the quick response of the Michigan State Police ensured that all 12 campers, of whom were girls in third to fifth grade, emerged unscathed from the ordeal. The counselor, who was pinned by the fallen tree, was also miraculously uninjured after troopers, cleared the broken glass and debris to free her after an hour and a half of effort. A trooper, however, sustained a minor hand injury during the rescue, according to 13 ON YOUR SIDE.

The details surrounding the cabin’s condition post-incident are clear: the structure endured significant damage, described pointedly as "destroyed" by the fallen tree. Meanwhile, emergency services from Shelby Fire Department and other agencies collaborated in a concerted effort to lift the tree and ensure the safe evacuation of everyone involved.

As proceedings unfolded, there was a discrepancy between reports on the actual number of campers rescued. While initial figures suggested a dozen campers were in peril, the actual count was amended to 11 trapped campers, as mentioned by News Channel 3. Two individuals required transport to a local hospital for medical attention, the nature of their conditions remains unreported.
