Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer camp in Texas where 28 people died during catastrophic flooding, filed for bankruptcy reorganization on Wednesday, June 24, 2026 — nearly a year after the disaster.
The filing seeks reorganization, not outright liquidation, meaning the camp is asking a court to restructure its finances rather than shut down entirely. What that process will look like, and how long it will take, hasn’t been disclosed.
Background
Twenty-eight people died at Camp Mystic when floodwaters overwhelmed the facility. The deaths made it one of the deadliest single-site flood events tied to a children’s camp in recent memory, though the full scope of legal claims against the camp hasn’t been publicly tallied.
Bankruptcy reorganization filings by institutions facing mass-casualty litigation have become a contested legal strategy in American courts. Plaintiffs’ attorneys in similar cases have challenged whether such filings should be allowed to delay or limit civil claims brought by victims’ families. Whether that fight will play out here isn’t yet known.
The camp hasn’t announced plans to reopen, and no reorganization timeline has been made public as of the filing date.
