Camp Mystic proposes selling Hill Country property in bankruptcy plan
Key Points:
- Camp Mystic has proposed selling its Hill Country property and other assets as part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization, more than a year after catastrophic flooding killed 29 people at the camp.
- The Christian girls summer camp filed the reorganization plan in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, which includes selling its roughly 725-acre property near Hunt, with the possibility that a new owner could continue operating it as a camp under state licensing requirements.
- Camp Mystic filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June amid multiple wrongful-death lawsuits, which are currently on hold due to the bankruptcy proceedings, though families may resume claims later with payments coming from insurance and bankruptcy funds.
- The camp remains under criminal investigation by the Texas Rangers for possible offenses including manslaughter and negligent homicide, but no charges have been filed to date.
- The bankruptcy plan is not yet final and requires court approval before implementation.
