One Girl Who Escaped Camp Mystic Is Paying Tribute To That Tragic Day<\/h2>\n

\"Teen<\/p>\n

A young girl who miraculously escaped alive from Camp Mystic during the horrendous Texas Hill Country flood earlier this month is paying tribute in her own unique way.<\/p>\n

13-year-old Skyler Derrington was among the campers who escaped the devastating floods that struck the beloved camp that she had attended since childhood.<\/p>\n

In the aftermath, she poured her experience into a powerful rewrite of \u201cHallelujah,\u201d transforming the song into a moving tribute to resilience, community, and the camp she holds dear.<\/p>\n

She sings, \u201cNow I heard there was a giant flood \/ But we were washed in Jesus\u2019 blood \/ On July the 4th, 2025, the water rose and we went adrift \/ Our faith was strong you showed us love like only God from up above \/ your prayers and hugs and love overwhelmed us.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Camp Mystic Devastated In Texas Floods<\/h2>\n

Camp Mystic is a century-old Christian girls\u2019 summer camp located in Hunt, an unincorporated community in Kerr County, Texas.<\/p>\n

At least 27 campers and counselors are confirmed dead following the tragic flash flooding in the region, which saw up to\u00a010 to 12 inches of torrential rains in an incredibly short amount of time.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Guadalupe River surged dramatically, rising approximately\u00a022 to 29 feet in under two hours, sweeping away cabins, roads, and everything in its path.<\/p>\n

Camp Mystic\u2019s youngest campers were tragically housed in low\u2011lying cabins located less than 500\u202ffeet from the Guadalupe River and were among the first to be overwhelmed when the flash flood struck.<\/p>\n
