Texas Flood: Young Counselor Helps Save Lives At Camp Mystic

Devastating floods in Texas have claimed at least 81 lives across six counties. One of the hardest-hit areas was Camp Mystic, a Christian girls’ summer camp near Kerrville, where 27 campers and counselors died, and several others remain missing.

Despite the tragedy, stories of heroism have emerged. Emma Foltz, a senior at Louisiana Tech and a longtime counselor at Camp Mystic, is being praised for saving 14 campers during the flash flood. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry called her bravery “instrumental” and thanked her publicly.
