A healing of Covid at camp
I was worried about my summer. I’d just arrived at a camp for Christian Scientists, where I was going to be a staff member for the first time. But I hadn’t been there long before I heard about a few people having to quarantine because of Covid. Although I wasn’t too concerned, I definitely didn’t want to deal with Covid myself. Unfortunately, before the campers even arrived, one of the kitchen staff members I was working with tested positive. This meant I had to wear a mask and take a Covid test every day for five days.
This was a little scary, because camp is a place where I’ve always felt safe. But I knew it was right to abide by the law. Still, I was afraid of what would happen if I ended up testing positive, too. A couple of days later, I did test positive, and I had to move to a cabin away from everyone else to quarantine.
I was scared that I wasn’t feeling well, but I also felt isolated and frustrated.
