Camp Mystic has deep roots with Texas politicians, including former first lady Laura Bush, who worked as a counselor there, and former President Lyndon B. Johnson, who sent his daughters there.

Rescue operations are ongoing in Central Texas after flash flooding along the Guadalupe River left 27 dead and 10 girls and one counselor unaccounted for at Camp Mystic. Officials said more than 90 have died as catastrophic floods ravaged the Hill Country.
