I want to be very clear in this article that I am not making any accusations, or blaming someone, or saying that what happened is less than a terrible tragedy.
In fact, I said that yesterday it is probably the most frightening story I have covered here in 10 years.
And nothing changes in this article.
Are we clear?
Go up and read all that again because I do not want any hatred in the comment below.
But we do investigative journalism here, and sometimes it means that I show you things that just look or do not feel right.
When this story broke for the first time, apart from my clear first reactions that it is the most terrible thing that I have heard in a long, long time, my second idea was why they keep calling it a “Christian” camp if the name is “Camp Mistic”?
It is a very strange name for a Christian camp.
It can be very common that Camp Redimer, Camp Cornestone, River of Life Camp, Refuge Ridge….
But camp mistic?
Mystic and mysticism is in the direct struggle of Christianity.
(I asked the chat about the name and it made a clear suggestion that the area in which the camp is located is just so beautiful that it can feel mysterious)
But anyway, just outside the gate I am a little surprised by this, but this is not the main thing that I wanted to show you.
The main thing is that now the details are emerging that the “Christian Summer Camp” has deep relations with the political elite and other power brokers of Texas:
Ok … this is a completely new picture for me … wow

Again, I am not saying that anything is nefarious here, I am just saying that such strange details always pop up in these big national tragic news?
Here is a brief summary of some big name connections of the camp:
• Daughters of the Government of Texas. Dan Moody, Value Daniel, and John Conlie, who were shot, when they were President John F. Sitting next to Kennedy, when he was murdered in Dallas in 1963, all attended the camp.

• Campers “Neemon will become officers for Marcus, dance with Royal Ballet in London, will be the owner of a gymbore franchise in the former Soviet Union, or will marry well and will be such a thorough concentrated volunteer who will probably be happy as CEOs,”
• When the federal government rented Camp Mistic as a firm camp for the veterans of the Army Air Corps of World War II between 1943 and 1945, it has been continuously operated since its establishment, according to the Texas State Historical Association.
Post There is a deep connection for this camp between Texas Elite: “I don’t care where my goddess goes to college, but I care where she goes to the camp,” Mystic Elm Catherine Jones told a reporter. More:
According to the 2011 Texas monthly story, according to the discovery of the post discovered on Friday, the loan has been a cute summer retreat for some of the most influential young women in the Star State.

Campers “Neemon will become officers for Marcus, dance with Royal Ballet in London, own a gymbore franchise in the former Soviet Union, or marry well and make such a thoroughly concentrated volunteers who will probably be happy as CEOs,” the outlet written.
Perhaps this is just me, but it looks more demolay / mesonic than Christians. But perhaps I am away from the base.
According to his website, which is difficult to load right now, I see the cross in many photos and the campers often wear all white clothes, which seems a bit cultural, but can also symbolize purity.
Camp Mistic describes itself in this way Blessing,
Camp Mystic is a private Christian summer camp for girls. Established in 1926, the Mystic is settled between Saru, Live Oak and Pekan trees in the mountainous country of west-central Texas on the banks of the beautiful Guadalup River. The Mystic is located near the geographical center of Texas, 18 miles north of Kerville. Mistic employees try to provide young girls a complete Christian atmosphere, in which they can Develop excellent personal qualities and self-esteem,
Every summer, the mystic challenges its camper to fulfill mystic ideals:
- Be a better person to be mystic
- Allow the Mystic out of them out
- Grow spiritually
Campers develop a lifetime friendship with other campers and consultants. They also learn incredible life skills. A summer camp experience in Camp Mystic is an important investment in your daughter’s education.
And with a page title “Inspiration“It adds about the camp:
Mistic is a nondenominational Christian camp and provides many different -different -its camper and counselor Ways in which they can do Grow spirituallySunday is the day of comfort, rest and worship in the camp mystic. All are encouraged to go to the Chapel Hill, a special place ignoring the Mystic for prayer and Sunday services.
Devotion is organized on Sunday morning on the banks of the beautiful Gwadalup river. Campers and counselors listen to songs, scripture, find ways to grow spiritually, and learn to apply these lessons in their daily lives at camp and back home. Wespers’ services are held every Sunday evening at Chapel Hill and are designed to appeal to every tourist’s spiritual life. Catholic month is also introduced to the campers that want to participate on Saturday evening. Once a word offers a sunrise Holi Communian service on Mystic Chappell Hill.
Mystic continues in a week Create a spiritual atmosphere To learn and grow for all. Campers and counselors help devotion every morning after breakfast. Bible studies are introduced equally to campers and consultants. Night cabin devotion gives everyone a chance to end the day on a positive and inspiring note.
In my review, I see a mixture of clear Christian concepts such as Bible studies, church services, communians and other things, which are “spiritually growing” and “spiritual atmosphere” and are leveled with a strong focus on personal development.
Not to say all those things, it must be mutually exclusive.
A very long article by Texas monthly Since 2011, the camp describes that whatever I think is like a yell for summer camps like skulls and bones, rather than that you or I can recognize with my experiences – but again, perhaps it’s just me:
Ask almost any woman who has participated in the Camp Mystic for her summer memories, and she will answer well, with mysterious bliss. For those whose camp memories include bullying and blood -sucking insects can be a shocking feeling. But for the generations of women, between the age of eight to seventeen, who have crowded only girls’ condensed cabins since 1939, Mystic is a shelter site. Every Sunday is fried chicken. The cabins have names like the Wiggle in and Cheater Box. The word “micfi” is embossed on the sky high with a jury-ragged lightballbes. The meaning that anyone can do wraps Saran on the toilet seat. And always to listen to someone, and to find out what a particular girl has tick: even if she cannot shoot a bow and arrow or pull the team to win into the battle canoe, she can be the best at the end of the session.
The camp has always worked as a near-demerit training ground for Arctiple Texas women.For the current fee of $ 4,375 for the thirty -day session, the Mystic Girls learned to shoot rifles, ride horses, catch bass, increase the August sun without complaint in August sun, and faced a rattlesnake or two. In Blistering Tribe competitions – Campers are divided into Kiva and Tonkwa – they learn the value of teamwork. A long line of notable alumna The kind of girl that attracts the mystic: Mary Martin, who played a brilliant, tirelessly cheerful boy, was the first celebrity tourist; After that was done by governors’ daughters Price Daniel, and MoodyAnd John Conlie, LBJ Daughters, granddaughters and pardoti participated; James baker A daughter and a granddaughter sent. Laura Bush Worked as a consultant among the conditions at the Southern Methodist University. Mystic girls say that their camp days prepare them for the real world: they become officers Neemon MarcusDance with Royal Ballet of LondonThe former Soviet Union owns a gymbore franchise, or marries well and becomes like intensity concentrated volunteers who will probably be happy as CEOs.
But the most important, mystic girls are friends who live forever. Not only do they make a “Mistic mafia“It is spread all over the world, but they also help each other go to the Cuppa Kappa Gama in the University of Texas, Junior League, and, if necessary, be a clinical test on MD Anderson. Strong women: Campers remember that Egnes has a distance of about one mile in guidance every morning;
The answer to these details has been mixed online:

Nothing odd or a big one-Chuda?
