At Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp in Hunt, Texas, where officials are grieving the loss of 27 children and counselors, belongings of the young campers were strewn about the flooded floors of a dormitory, while other items, including a pink backpack and a Camp Mystic T-shirt, were found along the bloated Guadalupe River, photos show.

As the search for five missing Camp Mystic campers and one counselor continues, the summer camp community in Texas and across the country is offering support for a place that has become special to thousands of girls over the years.
