Search and rescue operations are still continuing at the Camp Mystic, which lost at least 27 campers and counselors to the catastrophic flash floods that swept through central Texas, United States last Saturday.
At least five campers are still missing, along with one counselor.
The 99-year-old camp, an all-girls Christian summer camp, remained closed off to the public as of Tuesday.
Rescue teams were retrieving the belongings of the campers. Each item was being dried and packed into colorful boxes to be returned to their grieving parents, hoping to provide them with some comfort and closure.
Rescue vehicles and cranes headed to the disaster area, while military helicopters circled low overhead, stirring up winds as they searched for the missing.
Along the way, the damaged road was scattered with camping items like pots, bowls, and colorful children's clothing among the debris.
A poignant scene unfolded as a cheerful red sign, likely once hung on a tree, rested on a broken log, marking the summer camp and evoking happy childhood memories amidst the scattered debris of damaged camping items.
According to U.S. media reports, the flooding in central Texas has claimed over 111 lives, with 161 people still missing in Kerr County alone.
Of the fatalities, 87 occurred in Kerr County, officials said.

Several nations and international organizations have voiced strong condemnation against recent U.S. military actions targeting Venezuela, emphasizing the importance of international law and diplomatic solutions.
The United States launched military operations in Venezuela that led to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife on Jan 3. The Venezuelan government said the strikes hit civilian and military sites in at least four states, including Caracas, Miranda, Aragua and La Guaira. The U.S. attack has left 100 dead, Venezuela's interior ministry said Wednesday.
"The international law, the rules, the rules and regulations of the international system should be really respected. We at the African Union disapprove completely the kidnapping of a sitting president. We issued and released a communique, asking the global powers, influential countries to respect the rule of law, to respect the international law, and also to respect the immunity of sitting presidents everywhere," said African Union (AU) Commission Chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssouf.
According to Russian media reports, Russian Ambassador to Venezuela Sergey Melik-Bagdasarov, after meeting with Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil on Friday, noted that the U.S. actions have resulted in the deaths of approximately one hundred Venezuelan civilians and military personnel.
He stressed that these tragic consequences must be severely condemned and thoroughly investigated. The ambassador added that the United States' neo-colonial, command-and-control approach clearly does not contribute to the normalization of Venezuelan oil sales, and such actions violate international law.
South African Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Ronald Lamola on Friday reiterated his country's commitment to a rules-based international order grounded in international law and multilateralism, with the United Nations (UN) at its center.
Delivering a keynote address on the 2026 Foreign Policy Outlook in Rustenburg, North West Province, Lamola said the doctrine of "might is right" must not be allowed to prevail, and that the rule of law remains fundamental to global stability, legitimacy, and governance.
He said that the unilateral military actions by the U.S. against Venezuela risk reducing the UN Charter to ashes. In the current situation, it is of unprecedented importance and urgency for countries to adhere to resolving disputes through dialogue, consultation, and diplomatic means.
