Camp Mystic Files Bankruptcy After Tragedy

Camp Mystic, the Texas Christian camp where 27 died in a July flood, has filed for Chapter eleven bankruptcy, facing over ten million in debt with assets worth just $100K to $500K. The camp, which had planned to reopen this summer, reversed course after backlash from victims’ families and lawmakers who condemned reopening amid ongoing lawsuits and investigations. Testimony revealed critical failures in emergency planning and reliance on untrained staff. Families sued for over a million, accusing camp operators of ignoring rising flood risks on July 4th — a day that also claimed the life of owner Richard Eastland. Despite earlier promises of safety upgrades and assurances no activities would occur in flood-prone zones, the bankruptcy filing signals another painful chapter for survivors and the community still healing from last summer’s tragedy.
