What It Means to Be a Mystic Girl
Briefly

Girls often express wishes about personal attributes and experiences, such as having straight hair or attending a popular camp. The author reflects on growing up in Austin, Texas, where many girls attended Camp Mystic. Mystic’s campers believe they share a special bond that lasts a lifetime, with many mothers eager for their daughters to join. Campers participate in devotions and discussions about their faith together, feeling a connection to a higher power amidst Texas's natural beauty.
Mystic Girls have an unbreakable bond, lasting through life, and many campers dreamed of sending their own daughters to the 99-year-old camp, revered like Jesus.
It's hard not to feel like you are surrounded by a higher power when you're down there, because it's just so beautiful, with old cypress, live oak, and pecan trees.
