BENONA TOWNSHIP, MI (CBS DETROIT) – A camp counselor is expected to be OK after a tree fell on a cabin, trapping her early Thursday morning in West Michigan.
At approximately 1:54 a.m., Michigan State Police and the Oceana County Sheriff’s Office were called to Camp Ao Wa Kiya in Benona Township. Twelve girls from third, fourth and fifth grades and two adult chaperones were in the hut when the tree fell, MSP said on X (formerly Twitter).
Authorities were able to rescue the girls and one of the counselors; however, the second counselor was pinned to her bed.

MSP said one soldier suffered a minor hand injury and was taken to a hospital for treatment.
