Story summary

The owners of Camp Mystic, a century-old private Christian girls' camp in Texas, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and proposed selling its 749-acre riverfront property following a catastrophic flash flood on July 4, 2025, which killed 28 people including 25 young campers. The camp's debt is estimated between $10 million and $50 million. Victims' families, including those of 8-year-old Mary Grace Baker, are concerned about the transparency and fairness of any potential sale, with one attorney stating they will fight to protect their rights. A nonprofit called Firefly Fields Foundation has expressed interest in preserving the camp’s "historic mission," but it is uncertain if the Eastland family will attempt to regain ownership through the auction process.
