Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, June 24, 2026

Camp Mystic's owner filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Wednesday, nearly a year after catastrophic floods in Texas Hill Country killed 25 girls, two teenage counselors and the camp's longtime director. In a court filing, the operators of the all-girls Christian summer camp said its total debts were in the range of $10 million to $50 million. The filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of Texas in Houston said the camp's total assets were between $1 million and $10 million. Camp Mystic's owners and operators have faced intense scrutiny over their response to last year's devastating July 4 floods. In a scathing report released earlier this month, state investigators faulted the camp for inadequate advance emergency planning, storm preparation, evacuations and incident management.

The parents of those girls whose safety was entrusted in the camp's owners will now get screwed again. Hopefully the owners will be held liable personally for their utter incompetence and gross negligence.

It's a poor business model built on land that is sure to kill everyone on it once every twenty years.
