RedactedNarrative: On August 10, 2018, at about 1419 hours, I, Cpl, of the Maryland Natural Resources Police, received a call from DNR Communications about a personal injury boating accident that occurred in the Chesapeake Bay involving a YMCA Camp Tockwogh camper. YMCA Camp Tockwogh is located at 24370 Still Pond Neck Road, Worton, Kent County, MD. I subsequently called the camp and spoke with subject about the accident. Subject advised that a juvenile camper received a laceration on his chin after the camper'chin struck the bow of a vessel that was underway and just went over a large passing boat wake. The camper was being taken to Christiana Care Medical Aid Unit at Middletown (located at 124 Sleepy Hollow Drive, Middletown, DE) to determine if he needed any stitches. I told Subject to call me back after it was determined if Victim would need stitches for the injury, at which time I would respond to the camp and obtain the necessary information for the boating accident report. 
  
       At about 1800 hours, YMCA Camp Tockwogh staff called me and advised that Victim received stitches to close the laceration. I responded to the camp and met with Subject. Subject provided me with information I needed for the boating accident report. I asked Subject numerous questions about the bay conditions and events that led to Victim's injury. The Chesapeake Bay was flat calm at the time of the accident, with the exception of passing boat wakes. Subject advised that on 8-10-2018, camp staff member was operating a YMCA Camp Tockwogh owned white colored 2011 Boston Whaler Super Sport 170, bearing Maryland registration 1943 CF. The Boston Whaler was also occupied by one other adult camp counselor, Victim and three other juvenile campers. 
  Operator was operating the vessel westbound in the Chesapeake Bay about 100 yards off-shore of YMCA Camp Tockwogh. Victim was laying inside of the front of the boat. His head was positioned above the bow's top deck. As operator drove west, they came upon a large passing boat wake and traveled over the wake about 20 knots. As the Boston Whaler came down off of the wake, Victim's chin hit the bow's top deck, causing a small two centimeter laceration and which produced blood. Victim was transferred to another boat where he was taken to shore and then evaluated by a camp nurse.
  
        The camp nurse decided to send Victim to Christiana Care Medical Aid Unit at Middletown to determine if stitches would be needed to treat the laceration. While at the medical aid unit, Victim received five stitches to close the laceration. Victim was later turned over to the custody of his parents.
  
        I later spoke to Victim's father and verified the incident and medical treatment that Victim received. 
  
        This case is closed. All events occurred in Kent County, MD and Middletown, DE.
