Haunting photo shows Camp Mystic campers just days before every girl was swept away by Texas floods

The girls in the “Bubble Inn” cabin started June 29 at Camp Mystic with great-big smiles.

A photo shows all 13 girls and two counselors in spotless white dresses and skirts and white sneakers, beaming at the camera.

Less than five days later every person in the photo was swept away by the Texas flash floods.

Tragedy began around 4 a.m. Friday as the girls were sleeping just a few hundred feet from the Guadalupe River.

The bodies of 10 of the girls, ages 8 and 9, have been recovered, along with counselor Chloe Childress, 18.

Three girls and counselor Katherine Ferruzzo, 19, have not been found.

The rising third and fourth graders, as the youngest campers, were housed in the flatlands — closest to the river, with some cabins just 225 feet from the bank. The older girls stayed on higher ground on “Senior Hill.”

After a freak rain storm dumped a month’s worth of rain on the Texas Hill Country in just two hours, the Guadalupe rose 20 feet in a matter of minutes, cresting upstream in Hunt, Texas around 6:30 a.m.

The camp with 750 girls — a storied Christian sleep-away destination for some of Texas’ most elite families in Houston, Dallas and Austin — now counts 27 victims dead, with 10 girls, plus Ferruzzo, missing.

Most victims are young girls from the flatlands cabins.

Photos of inside a nearby cabin, the Handy Hut, shows the water rose nearly to the top of the door frame before receding.

In all, 75 people have been confirmed dead in the flash flooding that terrorized Kerr County over the weekend, with the statewide death toll hitting 95.

Among the dead at Camp Mystic is the camp’s owner, Richard “Dick” Eastland. He tried to rescue the campers at Bubble Inn, his son told the Washington Post, but waters from the river and another creek rushed in from both sides, leaving no escape for anyone.

Searchers found Eastland’s body along with the remains of three girls inside a black SUV.

“It made like a swirl right around those cabins like a toilet bowl,” camp employee Craig Althaus told the outlet.

Camp counselor Childress also died while desperately trying to rescue the girls in her care.

She upheld a “selfless and fierce commitment to others,” Jonathan Eades, head of school at Kinkaid School in Houston, from which Chloe had just graduated, wrote in a statement.
