"The letters allege that camp officials failed to prepare for flooding and other emergencies; failed to evacuate once the flooding began; and failed to notify parents of the dangerous conditions or that their daughters had been swept away in the deluge."
"The letters note that Texas officials have closed state schools and treatment facilities after such 'mass casualties' and 'systemic failures.'"
"You must pause the reopening of Camp Mystic until every negligent action taken or not taken by those in charge of caring for her that fateful night can be fully investigated."
Families of campers and counselors who died in floods at Camp Mystic are urging state health regulators not to renew the camp's license. They allege negligence in emergency preparedness, evacuation, and communication with parents. The letters claim camp officials failed to report the deaths as required by law. Families attended a hearing related to a lawsuit against the camp, seeking accountability and prevention of future harm. An injunction currently prevents the camp from altering affected structures or land until investigations are complete.
