Texas flood-hit Camp Mystic seeks Chapter 11 with debt above $10M
What's next: The filing follows lawsuits and investigations over the 2025 flood that killed 27 people at the girls camp.
Camp Mystic, the Texas girls camp where floodwaters killed 25 girls and two teenage counselors last year, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Houston on Wednesday. Court papers show more than $10 million in debt and assets estimated at $100,001 to $500,000. The filing comes weeks after the Christian camp dropped plans to reopen this summer after backlash from victims' families and lawmakers. Families sued in November, seeking more than $1 million in damages and accusing camp operators of failing to protect campers as the Guadalupe River rose on July 4, 2025. The broader flooding along the river killed at least 136 people. Camp owner Richard Eastland also died in the disaster.
