Before the floods came, Camp Mystic’s sprawling 700-acre campground was dotted with green-roofed, cobblestone cabins and rows of cypress, live oak and pecan trees. After, bed sheets tangled in broken branches. Muddy clothes, an overturned canoe and other belongings from campers remained.

As hope dims for finding survivors, questions are swirling around whether the emergency plan Camp Mystic laid out was adequate. Texas does not approve or keep copies of such plans; camps are only required to show they have a plan in place.
