Camp Mystic plans to reopen in Texas next summer, a year after floods killed 27

Camp Mystic will reopen its Cypress Lake site in 2026 with new safety protocols under the Heaven’s 27 Camp Safety Act after 27 deaths in 2025 flooding.

  • Camp Mystic plans to reopen next summer for its 100th anniversary, despite the outrage from grieving families of the 27 victims who died in flooding, as reported by The New York Times.
  • The Eastland family, who owns the camp, announced the reopening in emails to families and alumni while promising new safety measures and a memorial for the victims.
  • Cici Steward, mother of missing Cile Steward, expressed that reopening feels premature and that the camp failed their daughters, while other parents are demanding the reopening be halted.
  • Texas legislators, with family support, passed safety laws requiring camps to improve flood preparedness, aiming to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
