June 24 (UPI) -- The owners of Camp Mystic, a Texas summer camp where 28 people were killed last summer in floods, have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
In the bankruptcy filing, the camp's operators said its debts exceed $10 million and its assets were between $1 million and $10 million.
On July 4, 2025, a flash flood killed 25 girls between ages 8 and 10, two teenage counselors and the camp's co-owner. The camp is a girls' Christian camp along the Guadalupe River. Last November, the families of nine campers and counselors who died filed three lawsuits against the camp and its owners, claiming gross negligence for waiting to evacuate the camp until "it was too late."
The camp was in Kerr County in an area that meteorologists call "Flash Flood Alley."
