Several young girls at Camp Mystic were missing after their cabins were apparently washed away by Guadalupe River-Cypress Lake floods
Several young girls at Camp Mystic were missing after their cabins were apparently washed away by Guadalupe River-Cypress Lake floods on Friday. Social media users reported that all girls were found only for TX DPS officials to say that these reports were not true.
This comes after officials confirmed that at least 23 campers were missing
Kerr County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Clint Morris confirmed to KSAT that this is an ‘active scene’. “This may be a once-in-a-lifetime flood,” he said, adding that locals should avoid traveling west of Ingram near the Guadalupe River.

Camp Mystic, meanwhile, issued a set of instructions for the guardians who were missing in an email obtained by KSAT.
“If your daughter is not accounted for you have been notified,” the email stated. “If you have not been personally contacted, then your daughter is accounted for.”
Were the Camp Mystic campers found?
Locals on social media noted that the missing campers might have been found and accounted for.
“I am told that the missing director and kids from camp mystic have been found stranded on some sort of “island” one person noted on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.
“Posted on a Texas Tech message board by a parent of a Mystic Counselor, multiple sources have said similar things,” they further added.
“Per @ksatnews Camp Mystic issues statement saying parents have been notified if their daughter has not been accounted for. ALL campers at Cypress Lake have been accounted for. All campers at Senior Hill (?) have been accounted for,” another social media user said.
Officials, however, said that these reports are false.
Meanwhile, local journalists posted photos of the rescue operations on social media, reporting that some rescued girls were stationed at a nearby fire station. They did not provide details.
