Inside the sanctuary, sorrow was thick in the air as the community came together to honor the campers of Camp Mystic, which is a cherished girls’ summer camp along the Guadalupe River. Many campers tragically lost their lives, while others remain missing.

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.
