() Nine-year-old twins who attended summer camps devastated by recent flooding have raised nearly $10,000 through a lemonade stand and cookie sales to help rebuild the facilities where 10 girls remain missing.

Corrigan and Cannon Camp organized the fundraiser after learning about the catastrophic flooding that struck Camp Mystic and a nearby boys camp two weeks after they returned home. The twins’ mother, Lisa Camp, said the idea came naturally to her children.

“We were told about the flood. Then the next night we decided we wanted to do a lemonade stand,” Cannon Camp told . His sister Corrigan added she wanted to sell cookies in honor of camp owner Tweety Eastland.

The cookies hold special significance they’re chocolate chip cookies made in tribute to Tweety Eastland, whose husband Dick died trying to save campers during the flooding. Corrigan Camp had formed a close bond with the camp owners during her two-week stay.

“They made me feel really comfortable. At lunch I got to sit with them, and they’re just like the sweetest people ever,” Corrigan said.

Lisa Camp said the Eastlands made a profound impact on her daughter during her brief time at camp. She described the final day when Eastland gave Corrigan Camp “the most loving hug and genuine and sincere hug.”

The fundraising effort has drawn support from camp alumni, neighbors and strangers who learned about the twins’ mission. Friends shared the family’s Venmo account, leading to an outpouring of donations that pushed the total close to $10,000.

“We’ve just been flooded with generous neighbors, generous strangers, generous friends,” Lisa Camp said. “We’re so grateful that hopefully this money can do a little good for those sweet camps.”

The mother said the fundraiser reflects the camp’s mission of helping others and showing love through action. She described how the camps focus on “teamwork and helping others and loving others and being like Jesus.”

Corrigan Camp, who was in her first year at Camp Mystic, said she wants to help rebuild because “it was really fun, and all the fun things there, everybody was just so sweet.”

The family plans to donate the money directly to the Eastlands, allowing them to determine whether funds should go to affected families or rebuilding efforts.

The twins’ fundraiser comes as rescue efforts continue at the flood-damaged camps, where rushing waters caused catastrophic damage and left multiple people unaccounted for.
