Nurse April finished spraying Sid and started
on Roddy's arms. "We want to keep you safe"
she said.
My skin felt a little itchy. Sid and Kelly waved
their arms in the air, trying to get the sunscreen
lotion to dry.
Other campers were lined up outside, waiting
for their turns. When we were all covered in the
stuff, Nathan led us to our cabin.
The cabins were spread out along a trail
through tall, shady trees. As we walked, I eould

The girls' cabins came first. The boys' cabins

"Maybe you noticed," he said. "The cabins here
That's awesome. I said. Sid and Kelly
Of course, Roddy made a face."I creepy," he
We followed Nathan into Cottonmouth. It
was just big enough for two bunk beds and
two dressers. A poster of a big brown 1guana
hung between the two bunk beds. Two bulbs
hanging on cords from the ceiling were the
only lights.
"Can I have a bottom bunk?" Roddy asked. "

"No problem," I said. "I will take the top."
A couple of junior counselors walked up to our
cabin with our bags piled on a cart. Nathan told
us to grab our bags and put our stuff away.
Roddy tugged at Nathan's shirt. "Did you
know kids call this place Camp Slither?"
asked.
Nathan laughed. "No. Never heard that one.
Pretty good."
Roddy didn't give up. "Well, did you hear any
stories about a giant snake that lives in the
lake?"
Nathan laughed again. "Do you believe every-
thing you hear?"
no," Roddy started. "But
"Forget all those scary stories," Nathan told
him. "We're here to have fun, right? And to learn
about the outdoors?"
Sid and Kelly were staring at Roddy. Like he
was some kind of weirdo.

We started to pull stuff out of our bags. I
turned to Kelly and Sid. "You guys been here
before?
They shook their heads. We were all first-timers.
Roddy held up his toothbrush and deodorant.
"Where's the bathroom?"
"Didn't you see it?" Kelly said. "We passed it
on the trail. It's that long building that isn't
painted."
Roddy let out a sigh. He pulled a flashlight
from his bag and placed it on the floor next to
the bed.
Kelly picked up a can of Sun-Glo and squirted
Sid on the back of the neck. Sid shrieked and
dropped the stack of T-shirts he was holding.
-what's the big idea?"
Kelly laughed. "Sun protection!" he said.
Sid pulled the spray can from Kelly's hand and
let Kelly have it on the front of his shirt. I
grabbed another can off the windowsill and
sprayed Sid on the back of the neck, too.
We had an excellent spray battle. Even Rody
got into the act. A few seconds later, all four of Us were laughing our heads off
and dripping with the orange Glo
"Better get changed," I said. "it's almost time
for the camp meeting."
I started to pull my wet, sticky shirt off -
stopped.
I suddenly felt strange again . My skin tingled like before , but worse . It felt prickly.
I gazed at my hands - and gasped . My skin was scaly . It had all these little cracks and lines over it .
Weird . I scratched the back of my hand . And a long strip of skin peeled off my fingers!
