At least 27 children and counselors from a beloved all-girls summer camp died in the flash floods, the camp said in a statement Monday, as a search for those still missing entered its fourth day. It is unclear how many of the 27 fatal victims were children and how many were counselors.

“Our hearts are broken alongside our families that are enduring this unimaginable tragedy,” the private Christian camp, Camp Mystic, said in a statement on its website. “We are praying for them constantly.”

On Sunday, local authorities in Kerr County, where the worst of the flooding occurred, said 10 children and a counselor were among the many people still missing. It’s unclear if that number had changed.

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

There were about 700 children at the camp when relentless rain caused the nearby Guadalupe River to surge over 26 feet in less than an hour on Friday, said Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick. Photos taken at the scene show a building where some of the children slept with broken windows and a blown-out wall. Among the mud-covered debris were pink blankets and stuffed animals.
