Camp Mystic, located in Hunt, Texas, was hosting about 750 children this week when heavy rain caused water from the Guadalupe River to rapidly rise in the early morning hours of July 4.

The camp is located in central Texas' Kerr County, about 60 miles northwest of San Antonio. A few miles away along the river, another girls' camp said its director was killed in the flooding.

The private nondenominational Christian camp, founded in 1926, is located along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County, one of 15 counties covered in Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's disaster declaration.

According to its website, Camp Mystic is "located near the geographical center of Texas." Camp Mystic's close proximity to the Guadalupe River also left it vulnerable to flood waters.
