GOODLETTSVILLE, Tenn. -- A flu virus that spread among dozens young people cut a local church camp short this weekend.

Fallon Shephard, 17, recently spent several days at a church camp in east Tennessee with Long Hollow Baptist Church. However, the trip was cut short because children were getting sick.

On Monday, Shephard was at a doctor's office suffering from flu-like symptoms.

A doctor at Goodlettsville Pediatrics said since Friday, 15 others from the same church group have tested positive for Type A flu, a broad category of viruses that include H1N1 or swine flu.

"Right now, 99 percent of the (Type) flu A that is circulating in the United States is the new H1N1 or swine flu," said Goodlettsville Pediatrics Clinic Dr. Catherine Dundon.

Parents feel the church acted responsibly by cutting the trip short, and services at Long Hollow Baptist were called off on Sunday. In a statement released Monday, church officials said they will cancel Wednesday's services "out of an abundance of caution."

"You deal with things that come at you one step at a time, and with the Lord‘s help, faith and belief, everything's going to be fine," said Shephard’s mother Devra.

Due to the outbreak, Dundon has quarantined part of her clinic. Anyone who attended the church camp is being treated in a separate part of the building, and everyone is wearing surgical masks.

H1N1 is contagious but so far not as deadly as seasonal flu. In fact, doctors seem more concerned about the people who can get it rather than the ones who already have it.

"What we're looking to do is not really treat the patient, except if they have a secondary phenomena or if it’s triggered their asthma, but to treat contacts," said Dundon.

A record number of students, more than 1,200, from Long Hollow Baptist and another church site in Gallatin, attended this year's camp at Horns Creek Cabins and Retreat in Ocoee. Though dozens got sick, most, like Alex Swisher walked away feeling just fine.

"A bunch of people in my cabin actually (thought) they got strep throat but their strep throat tests came back negative, so they had the flu," said Swisher.

Doctors are placing the students who are sick under house quarantine for seven days.

People who are around them are being treated with Tamiflu and other anti-viral medicines.

The Horns Creek Cabins and Retreat said it has no plans to temporarily close. In fact, 500 people with another church group showed up at the site on Monday.
