As the floodwaters recede from Camp Mystic, a torrent of grief remains for the families of the children who died and those who went missing when flash floods tore through central Texas earlier this week.

Along the Guadalupe River and just miles south of the unincorporated community of Hunt, population 1,300, sits Camp Mystic. The private Christian summer camp has hosted generations of Texas girls for almost a century.

Dalton Rice, the city manager of Kerrville, said the missing girls were part of a group of about 750 attending the Christian camp along the Guadalupe River for the Fourth of July weekend. , US News Ne
