Safety on the river

“Just stay calm,” shouted my instructor over the roaring of the water.

Stay calm? Adrenaline surged through me as the Arkansas River water crept up my legs and our raft began to disappear beneath the current. As I looked to the left, I was met with two sets of terrified eyes. Seconds before, our instructor had fallen out of our raft, and now I was left with two fellow campers, both as frightened as I was.
