Following one of Texas’s worst flash floods, Camp Mystic—an inclusive summer camp for people with disabilities—was nearly ruined. But within weeks, a massive volunteer effort led by community members and disaster-relief pros had it ready to welcome campers again.

The story highlights the emotional power of community: over 1,500 volunteers, including Camp Camp staff and local families, worked tirelessly to restore cabins, trails, and makespace.

In difficult times, this is a reminder that people can rebuild hope together.
