More than 20 campers unaccounted for at Kerr County's Camp Mystic amid major floods
Flash floods in Central Texas have sparked concern over camper safety as search-and-rescue efforts intensify.
KERRVILLE, Texas — At Camp Mystic, along the Guadalupe River, more than 20 campers are still not accounted for. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said about 23 campers are not accounted for as of 3 p.m.
The camp had more than 700 kids, many of whom are from out of town. Officials say parents have been notified if their kids are among those missing.
Staff notified parents that all campers at Cypress Lake and Senior Hill are accounted for, adding that those whose daughters are “not accounted for” have been notified.
“We are working with search and rescue currently,” the camp said in its communication. “The highway has washed away so we are struggling to get more help. Please continue to pray and send any help if you have contacts to do so.”
Officials say the Ingram Elementary School will be the rendezvous point for Camp Mystic campers to reunite with families. Reports say rescued campers will be transferred via helicopter.
Representatives from Mo Ranch along the Guadalupe River say all campers and families from that camp are safe and accounted for.
Parents with kids at the camps are urged to contact camp officials directly.
This is a developing story.
