Camp Mystic will not reopen

The camp had initially sought to resume operations, but a public outcry and a series of lawsuits over safety failures forced a change of course.

Families of the victims argued that the site remains unsafe and that the trauma of the event is too fresh for the community to move on.

State investigators found that the camp's emergency protocols were insufficient to handle the scale of the flash flood.

The directors have stated they will now focus on supporting the ongoing legal process and honoring the memory of those lost.
