AUSTIN (KXAN) — At least 119 people across Central Texas are confirmed dead, including dozens of children who were attending summer camp in the Hill Country, after a weekend of catastrophic flooding.

The flash flooding deluged summer camps in Kerr County, dotted along the Guadalupe River, and also left families in Burnet, Kendall, Tom Green, Travis and Williamson Counties looking for family members swept away in the floodwaters. State officials are still hoping to find people alive as crews enter their fourth day of searching.

Camp Mystic

Kerr County officials said at least 95 people died in flash flooding over the Fourth of July weekend -- 36 of whom are children. At least 161 others remain missing.

Camp Mystic is a nearly century-old all-girls Christian camp on the banks of the Guadalupe River. The camp has been run by couple, Dick and Tweety Eastland, since they purchased it in 1974. The grandson of Dick Eastland confirmed on social media his grandfather died "saving the girls that he so loved and cared for."

In a message posted Monday morning, Camp Mystic said it was grieving the loss of 27 campers and counselors. "Our hearts are broken alongside our families that are enduring this unimaginable tragedy. We are praying for them constantly," the post stated.

On social media, several families across Texas have confirmed that their daughters did not survive the historic flooding that deluged the camp, including Lila Bonner, Janie Hunt, Hanna and Rebecca Lawrence, Sarah Marsh, Linnie McCown, Blakely McCrory, Renee Smajstrla and Mary Stevens.

Hundreds gathered outside Casis Elementary School on Sunday to mourn 8-year-old Austin ISD student Linnie McCown. Her father said on Instagram the Mystic camper, "filled [their] hearts with so much joy we cannot begin to explain."

The family of Mary Stevens, a Mystic camper and student at Highland Park Elementary School, confirmed on social media that she was among those who did not survive the flooding. Stevens' mother wrote on Instagram, "Our world is shattered, but I have peace getting your letters and knowing you were having the time of your life at camp and had a dance party with all of your friends before the Lord decided to take you from us."

Lila Bonner's family told KXAN, "We ache with all who loved her and are praying endlessly for others to be spared from this tragic loss."

Janie Hunt was attending Camp Mystic along with several of her cousins, according to a message from U.S. Congressman Buddy Carter posted on X. Hunt's family said........
