KERR COUNTY, Texas – Rescuers are searching for 10 campers and one counselor missing from Camp Mystic, a girls-only camp on the Guadalupe River that flooded during Friday morning’s storm in the Texas Hill Country.
The camp, which is located west of Kerrville in Kerr County, was evacuated early Friday as the area received at least 10 inches of rain.
In news conferences on Sunday, Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said 10 girls attending the Christian summer camp are still missing.
At least 68 people, including 28 children, are among those who died.

An email obtained by KSAT states that parents of campers who have not been accounted for have been notified.
