A girls’ summer camp cut short by deadly disaster
A summer camp for girls in the remote mountains was cut short by a deadly disaster that struck yesterday in High Peak Valley. The camp, organized by the Wilderness Explorers Organization, had 50 girls aged between 10 and 15 in attendance. The tragic event occurred when a sudden and severe thunderstorm hit the area, causing a mudslide that engulfed a large part of the campsite.
According to the camp counselors, they had received weather alerts but believed they had enough time to evacuate the girls to a safer location. However, the storm intensified rapidly, catching them off guard. In the chaos that ensued, several tents were swept away, and a few girls were reported missing. Search and rescue teams are currently scouring the area in hopes of finding them.
The Wilderness Explorers Organization expressed deep sorrow over the incident, stating that the safety and well-being of the campers are their top priority. They promised full cooperation with the authorities in the investigation that will follow. Meanwhile, parents of the girls have gathered at a nearby community center, anxiously awaiting any news about their daughters.
The local authorities have urged caution in the area due to the risk of further mudslides and have asked hikers and campers to avoid the region until it is deemed safe. The exact number of casualties and the full extent of the damage are yet to be determined as the search operation continues.
