to be carried several miles on stretch-
ers through the woods in the dark to
a clearing where they could be hoisted
into the helicopter. (There are no roads
on the island, only trails.) The chopper
could only take one patient at a time.
Kaylie was transported first; Dresden
followed more than an hour later.
The parents made it to Hancock
just in time to greet the helicopter
and accompany their children into a
nearby hospital.
“Dresden’s helicopter came, and
she was a disaster,” Cogan says of his
daughter. “She was screaming in pain.
She had mud under her nails because
she clawed her way out from under-
neath the tree. Thank God we were
able to get there.”
The teens were later transported by
air ambulance to Beaumont Hospital
in Royal Oak where they spent several
days in the intensive care unit. They
have since been released, and with
ongoing therapy and doctor’s visits, are
both expected to make full recoveries.

LOVE AND SUPPORT
In the aftermath of the accident,
Kaylie, Dresden and their families are
counting their blessings, including a
huge outpouring of support from the
local Jewish community. The girls have
received regular calls and visits from
friends, Temple Israel’s rabbis (both

families belong to Temple Israel) and
others. Several friends who are doctors
have also consulted with the families,
referring them to top specialists.
“We are seriously blessed,” Teisha
Tann says. “We are so thankful for the
love and support and thankful the girls
have each other.”
Kaylie and Dresden have been
together as much as possible, helping
each other both physically and emo-
tionally through their recovery. In spite
of the ordeal, the teens say they love
camp and wish they could return for
their last official summer as campers.
The girls and their families are also
thankful for the heroic efforts of the
counselors and campers who served as
“first responders” in the critical time
period following the accident. Tanuga
staff members echoed that sentiment
in their letter.
“We are extremely proud of the way
our staff and campers responded to
the adversity that took place. It should
also be noted how effective the park
service was in securing help for the
group. The harsh reality of these trips
is accidents can happen, and due to
the remote location, the timeliness to
secure proper help is not always ideal.
“Moving forward, we are deter-
mined to continue what has always
been a very successful overnight trip-
ping program.”
