Camp Mystic Bankruptcy

Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer camp in Texas, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization nearly a year after catastrophic flash flooding along the Guadalupe River killed 28 people, including 25 girls and two teenage counselors. The filing in the Southern District of Texas lists debts exceeding $10 million, though reports vary on the camp’s stated assets, and it allows the Eastland family-owned camp to restructure while continuing through bankruptcy proceedings. The move comes as Camp Mystic faces multiple wrongful death lawsuits tied to the deadly July 4 flood, with the bankruptcy filing pausing or complicating those claims. The filing also follows scrutiny of the disaster, including a recent Texas flood report and the camp’s earlier decision to halt plans to reopen for the summer.
