Colossal cleanup effort allows summer camp to reopen after Texas floods

Downstream of Camp Mystic, people rallied around to restore Camp Camp, which caters for those with disabilities

Just days after the devastating Texas floods killed 27 campers and counselors from Camp Mystic, another summer camp has reopened its doors 30 miles downstream. A colossal cleanup effort from the surrounding community enabled Camp Camp, a residential program serving youth with disabilities, to welcome visitors again this summer.

Our campers will be able to enjoy our riverfront activities much sooner now," said Ken Kaiser, the director of facility operations for the camp. In the midst of heartache, we got to see the best of humanity through these volunteers who came from all over Texas and beyond."
