""Camp Mystic is carefully reviewing the notice from DSHS and we are working closely with DSHS through the appropriate process to address the areas outlined. Our priority remains the safety and well-being of our campers.""
""Parents of the girls killed in the disaster pushed Texas legislators to pass updated laws last year to make youth camps safer, which included crafting more robust emergency plans.""
Camp Mystic's emergency plan does not comply with new youth camp regulations, as identified by the Texas Department of State Health Services. The camp has 45 days to address deficiencies in 22 categories, including mapping cabin locations related to flood risk and ensuring evacuation assistance for campers with disabilities. The camp's reopening follows a tragic flood incident last summer that resulted in multiple fatalities, leading to increased scrutiny and legislative pressure for improved safety measures.
