Camp Mystic Files Bankruptcy After Tragedy

Camp Mystic, the Texas Christian camp where 27 lives were lost in a deadly July flood, has filed for Chapter eleven bankruptcy, revealing debts over $10 million against assets worth just $100K–$500K. The move follows a November lawsuit by grieving families seeking $1M+ in damages, accusing camp operators of ignoring flood risks. Owner Richard Eastland also died in the disaster. Plans to reopen this summer sparked fury from families and lawmakers, forcing the camp to halt reopening amid ongoing lawsuits and investigations exposing dire safety failures — including no flood plan and untrained staff. Victims’ families, wearing pins with photos of their loved ones, attended hearings filled with harrowing testimony. Despite past promises of safety improvements, the bankruptcy marks a grim new phase for a camp once called a generational treasure.
