Camp Mystic has deep roots with Texas politicians, including former first lady Laura Bush, who worked as a counselor there, and former President Lyndon B. Johnson, who sent his daughters there.

About 700 children were at Camp Mystic when flash floods hit on Friday. Here's what we know about the storied summer camp for girls.

Robert Earl Keen, a Texas music legend who has a ranch in Kerrville and whose daughters attended Camp Mystic, talks about the impact of July 4 floods.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said his state "will not stop until every missing person is found" following devastating flooding in central Texas over the Fourth of July weekend that left at least 105 dead. Five young girls and a counselor from Camp Mystic in Hunt remain missing Tuesday.

Camp Mystic, the summer haven torn apart by a deadly flood, has been a getaway for girls to make lifelong friends and find “ways to grow spiritually.”

There are also 27 girls still missing from Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer camp along the Guadalupe River that was ravaged by the floods, officials said. At least four girls who attended Camp Mystic have been confirmed dead, according to reports, marking a tragic end to a day-long search.

But the river can be treacherous when flash floods happen. In the early morning hours on July Fourth 2025, a wall of water swamped Camp Mystic. Among the victims of the flood: longtime camp director Dick Eastland, who died trying to move some of the campers to higher ground.
