tHe lost 27 campers and counselors from Mystic camp Texas National Flood It could be served at a terrible cost to expand its huge reputation in Texas and beyond. Even if the flood took more lives in the valley – at least 120 confirmed deaths, 160 were not confirmed as of Tuesday – the loss of several “mysterious girls” was lost, and the headlines were dominated.
The camp offers two four-week tenures and a two-week tenure in the summer and has been the preferred camp for Texan daughters. It was so popular that it was well known that the father called the Registrar to put his daughter on the list from the delivery room.
The camp, which covers 700 acres, has been widely described as an all-girl Christian camp, borrows a baptism image in the river, but the religious components may be exaggerated: The camp is known as dozens of people along the Guadalupe River, and along the Texas River their young men sent out the cruel enthusiasm of the lowlands.
Now at least half of the Mystic camp, which is to celebrate next year’s centenary, is trapped in ruins and torn apart by violent floods. As 19 state agencies and thousands of volunteers work hard to search and clear flood debris from rivers, including Trojans’ debris, including campers’ muddy personal items.
Five days after the flooding, the valley’s mission has become a search and recovery operation: No one has been rescued from the river since Friday. In addition to the Lost Girls, Richard “Dick” Eastland, the principal of the camp, is the fourth-generation boss of the camp, who died while trying to keep the five girls safe.
“This is the core of the photos of these small faces that anyone in the world sees,” says the author of Claudia Sullivan, a mysterious experience, Heartfelt: The memoir of Camp Mystic Inspires. “Knowing that they were there, they spent their lives, they were innocent, and then were taken away in such a tragic event – it took you to kneel.”
Most alumni contacted the guardians to show that they were too frustrated to discuss the camp or its reputation, Texas It is “a near-sharp training ground for women in Texas as prototypes.”
It has served generations of women in Texas, often from wealthy or politically linked Texas families, including former First Lady Laura Bush, who is an advisor, as well as the daughter and granddaughter of Lyndon Johnson, the daughter of former Secretary of State James Baker and Texas Gov. Daniel, Daniel, Dan Moody and John Connally.
tHis camp may have been mistakenly described as a “Christian” camp. “It evokes the idea of a church camp, but it’s not,” Sullivan said. “It’s a private camp for girls with Christian values. When I was there, we spent a lot of time talking about being kind and compassionate with each other, and people from other denominations and faiths.”
Sullivan added that the Mystic Camp was better understood because in places without stress.
“You’re in nature, in a beautiful environment, and really out of the world,” Sullivan said. “It’s a place full of joy and innocence, or it’s. My feeling is that it will definitely rebuild, but it’s still early.”
The pouring of sadness and eagerness to support the community is shocking. A church memorial service was held in San Antonio on Monday for the lost “mysterious girl”. Many people wear the green and white of the camp and pray together.
It was impossible to arrive at the camp on Tuesday, extending 2.5 hours of tail from the nearest small village Hunt to Mystic camp. During the peak seasons in July and August, the camp hosted 750 girls, more than half of Hunt’s population of about 1,300.
In Ingram, a town that lost dozens of riverbanks from RV battalions and houses to flooding, emergency workers and volunteers are pitching, hoping to recover people who are still dead, many bodies may be hidden among large piles of river mudstones, broken houses, collapsed houses and chaotic property.
John Sheffield, owner of Ingram’s Ole Ingram grocery store, said the flood has not yet acknowledged social differences and the recovery efforts will not be: “It’s Americans taking care of Americans. The pouring of support and compassion is so huge.”
By the river, searchers continued to comb the debris and dirt. Ingram Mayor Claud Johnson is operating an excavator in Hunt. An EMS truck pulled up, suggesting another body was found. The helicopter continued to move overhead despite a privately operated drone impact on Monday and forced to make an emergency landing.
Three baristas from coffee stalls in San Antonio have appeared to serve rehabilitation workers. Allyson Bebleu said she went to the church camp and it gave her some of the best memories.
“It’s not just for the wealthiest families, all types of people go to the camp,” she said. “Everyone puts themselves on the shoes of the mysterious girl camp. It’s tragic.”
Mystic Camp is also the subject of a controversial video recently produced by former Houston Food Insecurity Council member Sade Perkins. Houston Mayor John Whitmire called Perkins a conservative Christian camp “only white” John Whitmire “deleted permanently” and there was not even “symbolistic Asians, none of them symbolically blacks.”
Richard Vela’s 13-year-old daughter Maya evacuated from a nearby camp on Friday, Camp Honey Creek, but was still too frustrated, saying Perkins’ comments were “not right.”
bRuce Jerome, who is promoting flood survivors in Ingram, said he met Jane Ragsdale, director and longtime co-owner of Heart O’Hills Camp, Texas, who died in the flood.
“She’s so good,” Jerome said.
Further down the river is Josey Garcia, a Democratic representative at San Antonio, Texas State Building. She and her team also picked out debris, pointing out the huge piles that still need to be screened.
Military Garcia said it was important to work with our neighbors to restore those missing and help Kerr County clean up. We have people from Laredo and Sutstate Kansas to borrow aid.
Garcia also rejected the negative characteristics of the Mysterious Camp.
“I’ve been hearing a lot of comments.
