The young girls sing worship songs as they navigate through the ravaged area, where uprooted trees, toppled fences, and cars stacked on each other paint a picture of destruction.

At least 10 girls and one councillor remain missing from the camp which sat on the bank of the Guadalupe River in central Texas.

Video shows girls laughing and playing games at the historic all-girls Christian camp – which is nearly a century old.

They include running around the dining room with trays above their head, carrying another girl in a team game, and a sport on a field.

But hours later they would be evacuated in the horrific tragedy.

The Guadalupe River rose 26ft in just 45 minutes after heavy rain hit central Texas at around 4am on Friday.

Younger girls slept in cabins just 500ft from the river on a small flat area of land off a bend in the watercourse.

At least 28 children died in Kerr County – where Camp Mystic is located.

Tragically, three girls confirmed to have died at Mystic River were aged 8 and 9 years old.

Older girls slept in cabins further away from the flooding.

As the water quickly rose the girls were forced to flee, with adults at the camp desperately trying to save them.

But the flooding was too strong and at least 30 adults, like the camp’s beloved director Dick Eastland, were killed.

Camp Mystic said in a statement: “This tragedy has devastated us and our entire community.

“Our hearts are broken alongside the families that are enduring this tragedy, and we share their hope and prayers.”

Rescuers are now scouring the devastated landscape as they search for survivors.

A total of 41 people remain missing, according to Governor Greg Abbott.

Camper Lila Bonner tragically was one of those killed with her family releasing a statement confirming her death.

They wrote: “In the midst of our unimaginable grief, we ask for privacy and are unable to confirm any details at this time.

“We ache with all who loved her and are praying endlessly.”

Lila shared a cabin with her best friend Eloise Peck, 8, who also lost her life.

Her mom, Missy Peck, told Fox4: “Eloise was literally friends with everyone. She loved spaghetti but not more than she loved dogs and animals.

“She passed away with her cabinmate and best friend Lila Bonner who also died.

“Eloise had a family who loved her fiercely for the 8 years she was with us. Especially her Mommy.”

A total of 41 people remain missing, according to Governor Greg Abbott.

This occurs as Donald Trump revealed he has authorized a Major Disaster Declaration for Kerr County to aid search efforts in light of the “unimaginable tragedy” that struck Texas.

‘Miracle’ survival: Rescued 20 miles downstream

By Patrick Harrington, foreign news reporter

A YOUNG woman was miraculously rescued after being swept 20 miles downriver in the Texas floods.

The 22-year-old was swept away by swift currents at her campsite in Kerr County, Texas, during deadly flash floods at 4am. She was discovered clinging to a tree four hours later.

A third of a year’s worth of rain fell in a few hours in the area, creating an “extraordinary disaster”, with an enormous search-and-rescue mission still underway.

A Center Point resident, Carl, heard screaming when he stepped into his yard at around 8am on Friday morning.

He spotted the woman clinging to a huge Cyprus tree near Lion’s Park Dam as the river thundered beneath her.

She had for been holding on for several hours after a terrifying 20-mile journey down dams and dodging debris.

Emergency calls weren’t connecting, so the local resident desperately flagged down a police car for help.

Two rescue boats were scrambled and battled perilous currents to rescue the stranded camper.

By this time, the water level had receded considerably, so the woman was stranded 12ft above the water’s surface.

She was forced to drop into the rescue boat, and was finally brought to safety.
