Correct. Back in 1987 the camp owners should just have moved the cabins located in the river flood zone above the flood zone.

The cabins were not built in a flood zone alone, but in a floodway, a place where everyone in the Hill Country understands that water rises quickly, and violently. Kerr County and Camp Mystic had a duty to protect these children, and they failed.

As a result of that failure, seven- and eight-year-old girls were swept away. These were not acts of God. They were preventable tragedies.

My daughter wanted to attend Camp Mystic. My wife attended when she was a child. Several of my nieces have been campers there, as have the daughters of close friends.
