  1. I have checked that one out as well and there is a bus from Austin so it's on the list. I do like the idea of a place that is a different climate and probably a lot more kids from various areas. She has just really enjoyed the all girl Mystic experience.
  2. Well that's part of the problem. She was on the Mystic list since basically birth. If it takes several more years to get in here then I'd probably rather just stick with whichever camp she starts going next year.
  3. I wonder if Heart of the Hills suffers the same fate... La Junta just posted something about working to restore so they can welcome all campers back next summer so maybe since they did not have that same loss they could recover but are there going to be tons of families that now decide not to send them back. My daughter is a Guad camper at Mystic and is emphatic that she only wants to go to Mystic not anywhere else. However, I would agree that even the Cypress Lake camp may not reopen so I'm having to figure out what other options there might be. Unfortunately, there just are not a ton of Central TX options for all girls camps with that same feel.
  4. Yes, but I'd like to be somewhat sure before dropping a ton of non-refundable deposits into various camps. Camps can be crazy expensive. One that I had been looking at for a bit in NC is $8600 for the four week period! And it's $1000 to just get on the waiting list.
  5. It's seems like all the camps along the south fork got the worst of it.
  6. I figured Surly is the best place for that since we are all surly assholes.
  7. Then it gets real expensive when you get all kids in camp at the same time and take a Euro vacation yourself. About a $25K month. I'm trying not to be too insensitive but I'd also like to know whether I'm going to get my tuition back from Mystic. And if there will not be a camp next year (which is probably not likely) if I need to be getting on new lists because these waiting lists are long. Although there is still a lot of processing to be done for my kids my daughter is very sad thinking she might not be going back to summer camp for some time.
  8. Clay went to the PreK program here in Austin that mine went to. This was a newer house on stilts that took it out of the 100 year flood. If it got swept away then it’s hard for me to place much blame on placement of the mystic cabins. It was truly a tragic freak event that would have been so hard to plan for. Alarm system, other warming tools sure, but still just unfathomable.
  9. Is the Red River seat selection later this year or am I just that much farther down the list now? I don’t remember having a time in Aug in the past.
  10. There was a vigil held at Casis for the community this evening. Only 1 girl from the neighborhood was officially confirmed and one other that goes to highland park elementary. The other in the neighborhood has not been confirmed.
  11. This story did add some light to why those certain cabins were more affected than others. And then being the youngest of the group just horrible.
  12. So much sadness for everyone affected. https://archive.is/2025.07.05-230826/https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/07/05/camp-mystic-floods-parents-missing-children/
  13. Press conf starting
  14. Yep. So many emotions.
