The remains of Katherine Ferruzzo, the only Camp Mystic counselor who remained unaccounted for, were found Friday, her family said in a statement. Ferruzzo, 19, is among the 27 Camp Mystic campers and counselors who died during the devastating July 4 flooding in Kerr County. She was serving as a counselor at the camp's Bubble Inn this summer.
Katherine Ferruzzo had been accepted to the University of Texas at Austin for the fall semester and planned to become a Special Education teacher, her family said.
Bubble Inn saw generations of 8-year-olds enter as strangers and emerge as confident young ladies equipped with new skills from the great outdoors and lifelong friends – bonds that would one day prove vital in the face of unfathomable tragedy.
At least 19 of the cabins at Camp Mystic were located in designated flood zones, including some in an area deemed “extremely hazardous” by the county.
Generations of parents sent their daughters to the Christian camp on the Guadalupe. It suffered floods over the years but no one foresaw tragedy.
