TL;DR

Camp Mystic, an all‑girls Christian summer camp in Texas Hill Country, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, reporting debts of $10–$50 million and assets of $1–$10 million, nearly a year after catastrophic floods killed 28 camp linked residents and at least 136 people region‑wide. The filing follows a state investigation faulting the camp’s emergency planning and evacuations; the camp had already withdrawn its plan to reopen after a heated legislative hearing. Families of victims are pursuing damages beyond $1 million, and the bankruptcy process could pause those suits and route them into the court system. Co‑owner Richard Eastland died in the floods, and camper Cecilia Steward remains missing.
