Camp Mystic, the Christian summer camp in Texas where a catastrophic flood killed 28 people last July, files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, according to court records cited by multiple outlets. The filings are submitted in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. The camp’s owners state that their total debt exceeds $10 million. The bankruptcy comes nearly a year after the July 2025 disaster in the Texas Hill Country, when flash flooding swept through the area and the camp. Reporting across outlets includes fatalities for 25 campers, two counselors, and the camp’s executive director. Several outlets note that the camp had taken steps related to its reopening plans in the months leading up to the bankruptcy; PBS NewsHour reports it had halted plans to reopen that summer. Other reporting references legal action connected to the disaster, including lawsuits filed by families of victims. The bankruptcy filing represents the camp’s request to reorganize under court supervision as it faces financial liabilities following the deaths.
