MORGANTOWN (AP) — A 14-year-old Pennsyl-vania girl is dead after a tree limb crashed onto her tent at a camp in West Virginia.

The Monongalia County Sheriff’s Department identified the girl Thursday as Leah Blum of Mount Lebanon, Pa.

The Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh owns the Emma Kaufmann Camp near Morgantown. Spokeswoman Cathy Sam-uels says no one else was hurt when the limb fell Wednesday night.

Grief counselors were at the camp Thursday and will work with the children as long as they’re needed, but Samuels says no children are planning to leave.

The camp stresses Jewish values for kids 7 to 16 years old, and offers sessions from one to eight weeks long.

Campers come mainly from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Maryland, Wash-ington, D.C., Florida and Nevada.
