I agree, the camps need their own flood warning systems, especially since the county won't invest in that.
Just based on decriptions of the sleeping quarters, the boys had rafters to hold onto, and they were physically able to do so. Some had to swim out of high windows. It also took many counselors to rescue the young boys in the lowest lying cabins, they knew how to make a line with ropes so nobody got swept away.
They also had half as many kids at their camp.
Whether it was training or quick-thinking or better staff to camper ratios, there was more than luck involved.
