The camp at Pevely

Missouri · USA · House

The first set of tents is on the left as you come through the gate. One night in a bad storm a girl walked to the shower house alone, without her buddy.

Come through the gate of this camp at Pevely, Missouri and the first set of tents is on the left.

Many years ago, on a night of severe storms, one of the girls needed a shower and walked to the shower house, six or seven yards from the tents.

In the Girl Scouts you use the buddy system. She went alone.

What is said to have happened after that is not recorded anywhere and no name has ever attached to it, so nothing is asserted here.

Summer camps produce a particular kind of story, told by older girls to younger ones after lights out, and they are almost always built around a rule: do not go alone, do not go past the boundary, do not go out after dark. The story is the rule with a consequence attached, and it works better than the rule ever did.

The camp is private property.
