WASHINGTON, June 24 (Reuters) – The operators of Camp Mystic, where 28 ​campers and staff ‌members died in catastrophic flooding in Texas last year, filed for bankruptcy ‌protection ​on Wednesday, ⁠the New York ⁠Times reported.

The company in charge of the camp cited total debts ​exceeding $10 million and assets that were ⁠between $1 and $10 million, ⁠in a Chapter ​11 filing, according to ​the report.

The camp said ‌in April that it had decided not to open this summer ⁠after previously seeking approval from state regulators to do ⁠so.

The ‌deaths came after ⁠heavy downpours in ​Texas ‌Hill Country transformed ​the Guadalupe ⁠River into a killer torrent on July 4, 2025.
