Camp Mystic Files Chapter 11 Protection After Texas Flood Tragedy

Camp Mystic, the Kerr County girls’ camp where 28 people died in July 2025 floods, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the Southern District of Texas, reporting debts over $10 million. The filing lists Camp Mystic LLC with Edward Eastland as manager and includes three affiliated entities, estimating 1,000–5,000 creditors, assets between $1 million and $10 million, and liabilities between $10 million and $50 million, in what has been labeled a complex case. The bankruptcy follows a Texas Legislature investigation that found the camp lacked an emergency plan and mishandled reunification, with the camp closing amid backlash and licensing hurdles rather than reopening this summer.
