Zipline Fall Hospitalizes 8-Year-Old Girl: Anne Arundel County Fire Department

ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MD — An 8-year-old girl fell from a zipline this weekend at Edgewater's Camp Letts, the Anne Arundel County Fire Department told Patch on Monday.

Firefighters said the injured girl was flown to the hospital.

Crews said they were called to the 4000 block of Camp Letts Road in Edgewater on Saturday at 2:37 p.m.

The girl fell about 15 to 20 feet from the zip line, a 911 caller reported.

The Maryland State Police Aviation Command Trooper 2 medevac helicopter flew the victim to Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore, officials said.

Camp Letts is operated by the YMCA.

A third-party vendor set up the zip line for a private event held by an outside organization at Camp Letts, a YMCA spokesperson told WJZ.

"The YMCA of Metropolitan Washington has been informed that an attendee of a private event held by an outside organization was injured while on the YMCA Camp Letts Retreat Center property," the spokesperson said in a statement to WJZ. "It was reported to the YMCA that a juvenile guest fell while using an outside vendor's zipline set up specifically for the event. The Y sends prayers for the individual's full recovery."
