When I was nervous about going to camp

David

This past summer I went to a two-week sleep-away camp all by myself for the first time.

It takes a full day of driving to get from my house to the camp, so the day before, my mom and I drove to a town near the camp. After we checked in to the hotel, we ate dinner nearby. A couple of hours later, I started to feel very ill. I was nervous about going to camp and about making friends, and I started throwing up.

I have been learning the ninety-first Psalm in Christian Science Sunday School. I’ve memorized about half of it. Mom comforted me and reminded me about the verses that I know. The first two verses say: “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.”
