The entities behind Camp Mystic have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, nearly a year after a deadly flood swept through the all-girls Christian summer camp in Texas, killing 28 people.

The camp's related companies, including Mystic Camps Family Partnership, Ltd., Camp Mystic, LLC, and Mystic Camps Management, LLC, filed the bankruptcy cases Wednesday in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.

In <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/73523849/1/mystic-camps-family-partnership-ltd/">court documents</a>, Mystic Camps Family Partnership, Ltd. alone listed up to 49 creditors, with debts ranging between $10,000,001 and $50 million and assets between $100,001 and $500,000.

The bankruptcy filings come about a week after Texas legislators released a 115-page report on the flood disaster at Camp Mystic, citing "failure to timely evacuate" and inadequacies in advance emergency planning, storm preparation, and incident management among camp officials.

"The lessons to be learned from the camp’s inadequate emergency planning and response are worthy of careful study for opportunities to avoid similar future tragedies," lawmakers <a href="https://senate.texas.gov/_assets/pdf/2026.06.18-FINAL-report-Signatures.pdf">wrote</a> in the June 18 report.

Established in 1926 along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County, Camp Mystic was hosting campers when raging floodwaters swept through the Texas Hill Country in the early hours of July 4, 2025, after torrential rains caused the river to rise rapidly.

The floods killed more than 100 people across the region, including 25 girls who were staying at the private camp, two counselors, and the facility's longtime co-executive director, Dick Eastland. The body of 8-year-old Cecilia Steward is the only Camp Mystic victim that has not been recovered.

Camp Mystic had planned to reopen for the 2026 summer season but withdrew its application to operate, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/camp-mystic-withdraws-application-open-summer-rcna342947">telling</a> NBC News in April that it had heard "concerns expressed by grieving families, members of the Texas House and Senate investigating committees and citizens across our state" and was stepping back out of "respect for those voices."

"Rather than risk defending our rights under Texas law in a manner that may unintentionally effect further harm, we choose rather to withdraw our application for the 2026 camp season," camp officials added.

The families of more than a dozen Camp Mystic victims filed lawsuits against the facility and its owners in November, alleging gross negligence in connection with the deadly flooding.

At the time, the camp's legal counsel, Jeff Ray, disputed some of the allegations in a <a href="https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/texas-news/lawsuit-filed-against-camp-mystic-victims-deadly-central-texas-flooding/3943331/">statement</a> shared with NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth.

"We intend to demonstrate and prove that this sudden surge of floodwaters far exceeded any previous flood in the area by several magnitudes, that it was unexpected and that no adequate warning systems existed in the area," Ray said in part. "We disagree with several accusations and misinformation in the legal filings regarding the actions of Camp Mystic and Dick Eastland, who lost his life as well. We will thoroughly respond to these accusations in due course."

NTD reached out to Martin Sosland, the attorney representing the entities behind Camp Mystic in the bankruptcy cases, for comment, but a response was not received by publication time.
