Texas Hill Country Flooding 2025-Camp Mystic

[AGDee]

This is absolutely horrifying and I've been sick about it since I heard. I did hear today that they found two girls alive, hanging in a tree.

Was the connection that girls ended up knowing each other from camp? or did sorority women work at these camps?

Both. These Hill Country camps often have women from similar neighborhoods and walks of life, and by the time they get to college (often UT), they have a ton of sorority members who vouch for them and get them in.

Jenna Bush Hager shared that her mother former FLOTUS Barbara Bush had been a counselor at Mystic. The Bush twins and their mother are all members of Kappa Alpha Theta.

Jenna’s Mom, who worked as a drama counselor at Mystic, is Laura Bush. Barbara was her grandmother. I believe that Jenna attended Camp Longhorn, another similar camp.

I've been sick about it, too. All last week, my social media feeds have been full of friends sending their kids (mostly daughters, but some sons too) to sleepaway camp, and how excited everyone was. I can't imagine what everyone is going through. My heart goes out to those survivors; they have a long row to hoe.

Camp Mystic seems like an almost magical place to spend summers. And apparently people put their daughters on waitlists when they're born? James Avery has a whole line of charms devoted to these camps.
