Parents Advocate for Camp Safety Reforms After Daughter's Tragic Death

Remembering Wyn Naylor

• 💖 Wyn Naylor, the oldest of three sisters, is remembered as an adventurous and fearless spirit who loved the outdoors and ballet.
• 👧 She was a natural leader, always looking out for her younger sisters and ready for any adventure, from fishing trips to exploring new trails.
• 💔 Her loss has deeply affected her family, especially her two younger sisters who will miss her guidance and memories.

Camp Mystic Tragedy and Communication Breakdown

• 🏕️ Wyn was attending Camp Mystic for the first time, a camp with a long-standing reputation that her parents trusted.
• ⚠️ The camp experienced a devastating flash flood, but communication with parents was severely lacking during the crisis.
• 📞 Parents struggled to get information, with some receiving calls about missing children while others did not, leading to confusion and fear.
• 🚨 The lack of clear communication and preparedness meant that many girls in Wyn's cabin were unaccounted for, and tragically, Wyn did not survive.

Calls for Legislative Reform

• 🏛️ Wyn's parents, Cole and Alli Naylor, are urging state lawmakers to pass crucial safety reforms to prevent future tragedies.
• 📜 They highlight that the disaster was preventable, citing complacency and a lack of adequate safety plans at the camp.
• 🚫 Key reforms include ensuring cabins are not located in floodplains, implementing robust evacuation plans for various disasters, and mandating proper safety training.
• ⏳ They emphasize the urgency of passing legislation like SB1 and HB1 during the current special session, as the next legislative session is not until 2027.

"More Like Wyn" Foundation and "Heavens 27" Fund

• ✨ The "More Like Wyn" fund, being converted into a foundation, aims to honor Wyn's legacy by supporting local communities, school districts, Christian ministries, and youth wildlife conservation efforts.
• 🤝 The "Heavens 27" fund, managed by the San Antonio Area Foundation, serves as a central source to support the funds for all 27 girls affected by the tragedy, ensuring donations are distributed equally.
• 🙏 The Naylors express gratitude for the community's support and are committed to sharing Wyn's light and positively impacting others through these initiatives.
