They raised more than $5,000 for Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian camp that was devastated by flooding in Central Texas during the Fourth of July weekend. Corrigan attended Camp Mystic for two weeks in June.

Overview

  • Corrigan and Cannon Camp raised more than $5,000 on July 6 and 7 in Fort Worth through a stand selling lemonade and camp-style cookies.
  • The twins baked their treats using an oatmeal-chocolate recipe from co-owner Tweety Eastland, whose “Tweety” cookies are a camp tradition.
  • They plan to host another stand this weekend to support Camp La Junta, a neighboring boys’ camp also affected by the July 4 flash flood.
  • Camp Mystic officials have confirmed 27 deaths and report at least ten girls remain missing after the Guadalupe River surge.
  • State authorities say the Fourth of July weekend floods have claimed at least 104 lives as search and relief operations continue.
