KERR COUNTY, TEXAS — What should have been a week of friendship, worship, and wilderness adventure turned into a harrowing disaster. A sudden flash flood struck Camp Mystic, a beloved all-girls Christian summer camp nestled along the Guadalupe River, turning peaceful cabins into scenes of devastation.
Now, grieving and terrified parents are flooding social media with pictures, names, and phone numbers—desperately hoping someone has seen their missing daughters.
💔 A River Rages, and a Community Breaks
On the evening of July 4, the camp was hit by an unexpected surge of water as torrential rain caused the river to rise rapidly. Within 30 minutes, the peaceful campgrounds were submerged. While many campers were rescued by counselors and emergency crews, over 20 girls remain missing.
“We sent her to grow her faith—not to vanish in a flood,” one tearful parent wrote on Facebook.

📱 Social Media Becomes a Lifeline
In the absence of official updates, parents have turned to platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter), pleading for help. Emotional posts are flooding timelines, accompanied by photos of smiling campers and messages like:
“She was so excited to go. If anyone has seen her, even for a second—please call us. We just want our baby home.”
Hashtags like #CampMysticMissing, #TexasFloodRescue, and #BringThemHome are being used to coordinate searches and keep public attention focused.
🚁 Search and Rescue in Full Force
Emergency responders—including Coast Guard teams, Texas Rangers, local police, and fire departments—have deployed helicopters, rescue boats, and K9 teams to comb the flood-ravaged landscape. But the search is difficult: debris, thick mud, and strong currents have slowed progress.
So far, several bodies have been recovered. The community mourns while clinging to hope for more rescues.
🛐 A Faithful Community Stands Together
Churches across Texas have held prayer vigils. Families are sleeping in gymnasiums and shelters, refusing to leave until their daughters are found. Despite exhaustion and grief, hope persists.
“God is with us even in this storm,” said Pastor Elaine Thomas. “And we will not stop searching, praying, or supporting these families.”
📸 Haunting Scenes from the Camp
Photos from the ground show what’s left behind—shattered bunk beds, waterlogged Bibles, floaties in trees, personal notes scattered in the mud. One image of a teddy bear lying facedown in the floodwaters has gone viral, becoming a symbol of the innocence lost.
