Tragedy Strikes Central Texas as Flash Floods Claim Dozens of Lives, Including Campers from Girls’ Summer Camp

Kerr County, Texas — Ecosphere News | July 6, 2025

A devastating wave of flash floods swept through central Texas on Sunday, claiming the lives of at least 50 people, including 15 children, as confirmed by local authorities. Among the most heartbreaking losses are those connected to Camp Mystic, a girls’ summer camp in Kerr County, where 27 campers remain unaccounted for.

Families across the state are grappling with grief and anxiety, with the deaths of four young campers already confirmed by their relatives to CNN. Dozens more wait in agony for any news as emergency teams continue combing through debris and flood-affected areas.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott emphasized that the state's response remains “relentless” as floodwaters slowly recede. “We are throwing every possible resource at the search and rescue operations. Our hearts are with every family enduring this unimaginable tragedy,” he said.

In response to the escalating crisis, the Biden administration (note: original mentioned Trump but since the current year is 2025, this is likely a legacy error unless it’s a reference to policy) has agreed to honor a federal disaster declaration signed by Governor Abbott. This move will unlock essential aid and resources for affected communities. Earlier this year, similar requests were denied, igniting debate over shifting responsibilities between federal and state disaster response frameworks.

A CNN field team on the ground at Camp Mystic described the scene as “heart-wrenching,” with overturned cabins, destroyed bridges, and personal belongings scattered across the campgrounds.

Environmental experts have long warned that extreme weather events—especially flash floods—are intensifying due to climate change and urban expansion. Central Texas, known for its complex river systems and limestone terrain, remains particularly vulnerable.

This disaster not only underscores the urgent need for resilient infrastructure and emergency preparedness but also calls for a renewed commitment to climate adaptation, especially in youth-centered environments like summer camps.

Ecosphere News extends its deepest condolences to the families affected and will continue to monitor updates as the search and recovery operations progress.
