As countless children flock to summer camps around the country to enjoy the outdoors while school is out, the wholly American tradition has not existed without a history of tragic horror stories leaving families grieving the unimaginable.  

Over the Fourth of July weekend, 27 children and counselors were killed after a flash flood swept through Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas, the all-girls Christian camp said Monday morning. Ten campers and one counselor remain unaccounted for as authorities race to search the receding floodwaters of the Guadalupe River. 

“Our hearts are broken alongside our families that are enduring this unimaginable tragedy,” the camp said in a statement. “We are praying for them constantly.”

Of the deceased, an 8-year-old girl from Alabama visiting Camp Mystic and the camp’s director, Dick Eastland, were confirmed as victims, according to state officials and Texas Public Radio

“We have been in communication with local and state authorities who are tirelessly deploying extensive resources to search for our missing girls,” the statement added.

Camp Mystic did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

The devastating events unfolding at Camp Mystic are the most recent in a long line of tragedies striking summer camps throughout the country, with parents sending their children off with the expectation that the only phone call home will be due to homesickness.

“This tragic event ranks among the most severe flooding disasters in recent camp history, and its scale has deeply shaken the camp community,” American Camp Association CEO Henry DeHart said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Camps across the country work tirelessly to provide safe, enriching experiences, and our focus remains on supporting those affected during this incredibly difficult time.” 

The association is the only national program that provides camps with accreditation to implement policies surrounding the health and safety of attendees. 

“No amount of planning could have anticipated this disaster,” DeHart added. “This tragedy is a sobering reminder of the unpredictable forces of nature, and now the strength of the camp community will rally in compassion and unity when it matters most.”

From gruesome murders to accidental drownings, American summer camps have not been untouched by tragedy in recent years, forcing parents to face the choice of sending their children for a fun-filled summer with the risk of them never returning.

Child crushed by oak tree at California summer camp

Earlier this week, an 8-year-old boy was killed, and four others were injured after a branch from an oak tree fell at a California children’s summer camp, according to Fox 11. 

The incident occurred on Wednesday at the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority’s “Camp Wildcraft” as the five victims were standing under the oak tree to avoid the sun, according to investigators. 

Officers from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded to the scene, finding camp staff attempting to render aid to several individuals before paramedics arrived.

The young camper was subsequently transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. 

According to authorities, an 11-year-old girl sustained a broken leg, a 5-year-old boy sustained cuts to his head, a 22-year-old man suffered bruising to his arm and abrasions to his head and a 73-year-old man suffered a concussion. 

Officials have not released the identity of the child.

“We are devastated by the tragic loss of a young child at a summer camp at King Gillette Ranch in the Santa Monica Mountains,” the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority said in a statement, according to Fox 11. “Words cannot express the depth of our sorrow. Our hearts are with the child’s family, friends, and all those affected by this unimaginable tragedy.”

The Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

The scene at Camp Mystic is eerily reminiscent of a 1987 tragedy that stemmed from the same river that continues to claim the lives of campgoers after this weekend’s floods.

Nearly four decades ago, over 300 children were attending summer camp at the Pot O’ Gold Ranch, located approximately two miles southwest of Comfort, Texas, when severe thunderstorms moved into the area, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). 

Local law enforcement tried to warn camp officials of a flood wave moving toward the camp, with authorities ultimately deciding to evacuate the children. Shortly after leaving, the caravan of buses encountered rapidly rising waters, forcing the drivers to take an alternate route.

As the line of buses were evacuating, the last vehicle in the group was overtaken by the floodwaters, forcing those on board to try to wade to safety. As the campgoers and chaperones made their way to dry land by forming a human chain, several individuals were swept away by the fast-moving deluge. 

A total of 39 teenagers and four adults were carried away by the floodwaters, with 10 of the teens drowning, according to NWS. The remaining survivors were subsequently rescued — some by helicopter — and taken to safety.

Boy Scout dies in New Mexico floodwaters 

In June 2015, a 13-year-old camper died after floodwaters ravaged a Boy Scout troop’s New Mexico campsite as the children slept, according to the Associated Press.

The group of eight California boys and their chaperones awoke to find themselves trapped as water poured into their tents, with some using their teeth to rip holes to escape the chaos. 

“You could hear people yelling, but you couldn’t understand what they were saying,” Michael Evans, a chaperone, told police.

Four boys were swept away by the floodwaters and carried down a canyon, where some reportedly clung to trees and other objects to stay afloat.

The flood claimed the life of Alden Brock after his tent succumbed to the powerful rushing water. 

“We floated down the stream, I guess, for a little bit,” Logan Reed recalled after he and Brock were unable to escape their tents. “I guess there was a hole in the bottom of the tent, and I slipped out of that.” 

The troop was enjoying a 12-day trek at the Philmont Scout Ranch when the floodwaters rushed through North Ponil Canyon at approximately 4:30 a.m., with the sheer level of devastation shocking local authorities.

“The actual little creek that runs down through there isn’t any more than a foot and a half, two feet wide,” Colfax County Sheriff Rick Sinclair said at the time of the incident. “And the area of destruction had to be, I’m guessing, at least 50 yards wide, maybe wider.”

In a statement about Texas flooding at Camp Mystic, Scouting America told Fox News Digital: “Our prayers are with the families and youth affected by the tragic events at Camp Mystic, as well as the many others impacted by the widespread flooding throughout the region. We stand in support of the entire community during this challenging time.”

Child drowns at New Jersey summer camp 

Last year, a 6-year-old boy drowned on the first day of a New Jersey day camp, leaving a community grieving as parents grappled for answers. 

The child was attending a Liberty Lakes swim camp for students entering first and second grade when he went underwater in the shallow end of a 20-foot-wide pool, according to Fox 29.

Liberty Lakes’ pool reportedly exceeded state lifeguard standards, with the child swimming in a group with an adult leader, two teen counselors and three adult advocates for campers with special needs — including one representative specifically assigned to him. 

Liberty Lakes Summer Day Camp did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

‘Girl Scout Murders’ stumps investigators despite new DNA evidence

The mystery surrounding the fates of four Girl Scouts who were abducted from their tents and killed on the first night after arriving at an Oklahoma summer camp in June 1977 continues to stump authorities decades later. 

Lori Lee, 8, Michelle Guse, 9, and Doris Denise Millner, 10, were brutally beaten, sexually assaulted and murdered at Camp Scott just hours after arriving.

Following the discovery of their bodies, authorities launched a 10-month-long manhunt for the suspected killer, Gene Leroy Hart. 

However, a controversial trial led to the acquittal of Hart, with authorities never naming an additional suspect in the murders. 

In 2022, officials announced new DNA evidence strongly linked Hart — who had died in prison serving time for previous crimes — to the girls’ murders.

Falling tree crushes California camp staff member

A California summer camp was left grieving after an oak tree “spontaneously fell” in June 2013, killing one staff member and injuring four others. 

Approximately 25 members of Camp Tawonga’s staff were outside eating breakfast when “there was a very loud cracking noise,” followed by a massive oak tree falling to the ground, according to the organization.

The tree struck five staff members, ultimately killing Annais Rittenberg. Two individuals were seriously injured and subsequently saved by fellow staff members as first responders raced to the scene.

Following an investigation, California Occupational Safety and Health Administration officials determined the camp did not violate any regulatory codes, and the organization was commended for the team’s swift response in an emergency situation.

Arizona governor vetoes Charlie Kirk memorial license plate, sparking GOP outrage: ‘This bill falls short’

Arizona governor vetoes Charlie Kirk memorial license plate, sparking GOP outrage: ‘This bill falls short’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Democratic Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs is facing fierce backlash after vetoing a bill that would have created a specialty license plate honoring slain Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, a move Republicans are blasting as a stunning act of partisanship after his assassination.

Kirk, who was assassinated while speaking at a Sept. 10 Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University, lived in Arizona with his wife, Erika, and two children. 

The proposed specialty plate, referred to as the “Charlie Kirk memorial” plate or the “Conservative grassroots network special plate,” featured a photo of the late Kirk and the TPUSA logo in front of an American flag background.

Below the license plate number were the words “FOR CHARLIE.”

STATE DEPARTMENT REVOKES SIX VISAS OVER OFFENSIVE CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION COMMENTS

Of the $25 fee required for the plate, $17 would be an annual donation deposited into the Conservative Grassroots Network Special Plate Fund, according to the legislation.

While the recipient of the Grassroots Network Special Plate Fund was not explicitly designated as TPUSA in the bill, it noted the director of the fund would allocate revenue annually to a nonprofit organization, founded in 2012, that focuses on restoring traditional values, maintaining a grassroots activist network on high school and college campuses in Arizona, and assisting college students with voter registration and absentee ballots.

TPUSA, founded by Kirk in 2012, is well known for its grassroots activist networks on high school and college campuses. It is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona.

The $25 fee and annual $17 donation are consistent with the fees for the other 109 nonprofit license plates offered by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT).

‘WE ARE NOT AFRAID’: ERIKA KIRK VOWS TPUSA WILL CONTINUE CAMPUS DEBATES NATIONWIDE

The state Senate passed the bill, 16-2, with the House of Representatives voting 31-23 in favor prior to Hobbs’ veto.

Specialty plates in Arizona are authorized by the legislature and sent to the governor to be signed into law. They have been offered since 1989.

In a letter explaining the veto, Hobbs cited concerns with the bill “bring[ing] people together,” claiming it would “insert politics into a function of government that should remain nonpartisan.”

“Charlie Kirk’s assassination is tragic and a horrifying act of violence,” Hobbs wrote. “In America, we resolve our political differences at the ballot box. No matter who it targets, political violence puts us all in harm’s way and damages our sacred democratic institutions.

“I will continue working toward solutions that bring people together, but this bill falls short of that standard.”

Specialty license plates with political interests already approved by the state include the “Choose Life” Plate, which benefits the Arizona Life Coalition and its mission to promote anti-abortion advocacy and education; the “In God We Trust” Plate, which benefits conservative Christian legal advocacy group Alliance Defending Freedom; and the Arizona Realtors’ “Homes for All” Plate, which funds affordable housing projects.

Another approved plate, “Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock Plate,” which benefits Solid Rock Teen Centers, features a portrait of the legendary musician, who has made political comments about social issues including gender identity.

Republican state Sen. Jake Hoffman, who sponsored the bill, posted a fiery statement on social media after the governor’s action, claiming her “grotesque partisanship knows no bounds.”

“Even in the wake of a global civil rights leader — an Arizona resident and her own constituent — being assassinated in broad daylight for his defense of the First Amendment, Hobbs couldn’t find the human decency to put her far-Left extremism aside simply to allow those how wish to honor him to do so,” Hoffman wrote. “Katie Hobbs will forever be known as a stain on the pages of Arizona’s story.”

Air Force veteran warns ‘cartels don’t collapse — they fracture’ after notorious drug lord killed

Air Force veteran warns ‘cartels don’t collapse — they fracture’ after notorious drug lord killed

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Nearly two weeks after Mexican forces killed notorious cartel boss Ruben “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes, questions remain about how the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) will respond and whether the blow will meaningfully disrupt the flow of fentanyl into the United States.

Carlos De La Cruz, a 20-year U.S. Air Force veteran who deployed after 9/11 and later served along the southern border, told Fox News the cartel leader’s death marked a major victory, but warned Americans should not mistake it for the end of the fight.

“When I say that this is a significant win, I mean it,” De La Cruz said. “El Mencho ran one of the most violent cartels on the planet.”

Oseguera, who rose to prominence in the post–El Chapo era, oversaw CJNG’s aggressive expansion across Mexico and into key trafficking corridors feeding U.S. drug markets. Under his leadership, the cartel became a central architect of fentanyl and methamphetamine trafficking and drew a $15 million U.S. reward for information leading to his capture.

NARCOTICS EXPERT REVEALS SLAIN DRUG KINGPIN EL MENCHO’S DEADLY IMPACT ON AMERICANS

Smoke rises from burning vehicles after a military operation that a government source said killed Mexican drug lord Nemesio Oseguera, known as “El Mencho,” in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, on Feb. 22, 2026. (Screen grab obtained from a social media video. @morelifediares via Instagram/YouTube via Reuters)

But De La Cruz cautioned that removing a cartel kingpin does not dismantle the organization.

“Cartels don’t collapse when you just cut the head off — they fracture,” he said. “And part of that fracture is going to see a lot of short-term violence while all these factions fight over territory.”

Following Oseguera’s killing on Feb. 22, the U.S. State Department issued travel alerts in multiple Mexican states, citing road blockages and criminal activity tied to security operations, underscoring concerns about instability in the aftermath.

Drawing on his military background studying enemy command structures, De La Cruz described the cartel fight as a long-term campaign requiring sustained pressure.

“You don’t win a war with just one airstrike,” he said. “The goal is dismantling the networks and going after their financing.”

De La Cruz, who is running for Congress and is the brother of Texas Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz, argued that CJNG’s Foreign Terrorist Organization designation gives U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies expanded tools to target cartel infrastructure and financial pipelines.

But he stressed that the fentanyl crisis should be viewed as a domestic security emergency, not a distant foreign problem.

“For decades, they were using their territories as launching pads to pump chemical weapons into America — because that’s exactly what fentanyl is,” he said.

De La Cruz, who said he worked side by side with Customs agents while deployed to the border, warned that cartel networks are highly adaptive and that any gains could be temporary without sustained follow-through.

“These networks, they’re going to adjust. They’re going to adapt and they’re going to adapt quickly,” he said. “We have to continue to go after the money launderers, especially on our side of the border, because that’s the full fight.”

While Oseguera’s death removes one of the most dominant figures in Mexico’s criminal underworld, De La Cruz said the mission is personal.

Search for Nancy Guthrie enters 5th week, cadaver dogs on hold

Search for Nancy Guthrie enters 5th week, cadaver dogs on hold

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

TUCSON, Ariz. — More than five weeks after the suspected abduction of Nancy Guthrie — the 84-year-old mother of “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie — Arizona authorities say cadaver dogs used earlier in the investigation are not currently being deployed as the search continues.

The elder Guthrie is believed to have been kidnapped from her home in the Catalina Foothills in northern Tucson around 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 1.

While no suspects have been publicly identified, and she has not been found, cadaver dogs had been deployed earlier in the case, according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos. They have not been visible in weeks.

“They are available if needed in the future,” he told Fox News Digital.

There are a number of reasons not to be using cadaver dogs at this stage in the investigation, according to Betsy Brantner Smith, a retired police sergeant and spokeswoman for the National Police Association.

One would be if there’s credible information that Guthrie is still alive.

“Anything is possible,” Nanos told Fox News Digital last week, adding that he would not discuss specific leads or evidence in the case.

Brantner Smith, who is not involved in the case, said departments may hold back K-9 resources for several reasons. Those could be that authorities don’t have a good idea of where to search, they think she might be concealed in a place where dogs would have a hard time detecting her, or they believe she’s been taken to Mexico, according to Brantner Smith.

“I do believe that the sheriff’s department has much more information that they are not releasing to the public,” she told Fox News Digital. “And I’m not sure at this point why that would be, unless they have a solid suspect and don’t want to tip them off.”
