Camp Mystic Withdraws License Application Amid Ongoing Investigations
Camp Mystic, a private Christian girls' summer camp in Texas, has withdrawn its license renewal application for the 2026 season. This decision follows a tragic incident last July where 28 people, including campers and counselors, died due to flooding. The Texas Department of State Health Services had recently informed the camp that its license might not be renewed unless significant changes were made to its emergency plan. The camp is currently under investigation by state health officials and the Texas Rangers, with hundreds of complaints filed against it. The camp's decision to withdraw its application has been met with criticism from the families of the victims, who view it as a strategic move to avoid losing the license. Legal actions by the families are ongoing, seeking accountability and transparency.
