Texas inspectors approved Camp Mystic’s emergency plan just two days before devastating floods killed over 27 people, mostly children, at the Texas summer camp.

As Texas Hill Country reckons with the destruction caused by the July 4 floods, a community of young people and adults with disabilities feared they wouldn’t get the summer experience they’d waited for all year at Camp CAMP, located along the Guadalupe River.

"At a time like this, there is really no other way to help than just letting them know that we're thinking about them."

Camp Mystic is a private Christian all-girl’s summer camp located right on the bank of the Guadalupe River. Due to this, many of the young campers fell victim to the rising waters when the flooding began. According to Taaffe, wearing this tie is in the effort to shed light on the situation, and honor the girls who didn’t make it.

Eight-year-old girls at sleep-away camp, families crammed into recreational vehicles, local residents traveling to or from work. These are some of the victims.

Bubble Inn saw generations of 8-year-olds enter as strangers and emerge as confident young ladies equipped with new skills from the great outdoors and lifelong friends – bonds that would one day prove vital in the face of unfathomable tragedy.

Many of the 650 campers and staffers at Camp Mystic were asleep when, at 1:14 a.m., a flash-flood warning for Kerr County, Texas, with “catastrophic” potential for loss of life was issued by the National Weather Service.
