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.

Coloradan Hillary Conway is a former camper and counselor at Camp Mystic, the epicenter of the deadly Texas flooding last week.

Amid chaos from the flood, campers huddled with young counselors—many unaware of the devastation just yards away.

At least 19 of the cabins at Camp Mystic were located in designated flood zones, including some in an area deemed “extremely hazardous” by the county.

"And our cabins are high up, and for them to be flooding, it's like, you know, something's wrong," Georgia Jones said.

"Their focus is fighting through that grief to stay connected with the families of their campers and helping them in any way they can," a camp spokesperson says

Dick Eastland, the Camp Mystic owner who pushed for flood alerts on the Guadalupe River, was killed in last week’s deadly surge.

Records released Tuesday show Camp Mystic met state regulations for disaster procedures, but details of the plan remain unclear.
