‘Deep rooted’ camp tradition continues in Texas despite flood devastation

Mothers say it is important to return to normalcy after deadly floods in which 27 campers and counselors were among those killed

As search crews were continuing to pick through the wreckage from Friday's deadly floods in Texas's Hill Country, mothers on Monday were dropping their teenage children off at Trinity Baptist church in hard-hit Kerrville for camp.

For the past few days, the church had served as a meeting point for families coming to - hopefully - be reunited with children who had attended other camps in the area. One of those was Camp Mystic in Kerr county, which lost more than two dozen campers and counselors during Friday's deluge. The death toll as of Monday had exceeded 100 across Texas.
