Taum Sauk Camp Rescue Miracle | St. Louis News
Description
Flash floods turned Taum Sauk Camp into a disaster zone, but a heroic rescue by the Missouri National Guard using Black Hawks saved over 200 campers and staff — a true miracle. The camp’s swift communication, including constant head counts and parent updates, calmed fears. One mom, Meaghan, was overjoyed to hear all her kids were safe. Her daughter, Caroline, described the emotional, tearful evacuation — even holding hands with a friend on the chopper. Praised for staying calm and organized, the camp thanked everyone from volunteers to responders. Support is pouring in, with a fundraiser already hitting $75,000 — proof of community coming together after crisis.
