Camp Mystic Cancels Plans to Reopen This Summer

Camp Mystic canceled plans to reopen this summer after days of dramatic hearings over its response to deadly Texas floods last year that killed 25 campers and two counselors.

The camp withdrew its application to renew its license for this summer, the Texas Department of State Health Services said in a statement. The agency said last week that Camp Mystic’s emergency plan failed to address several new rules for summer camps passed after last year’s July 4th floods, which killed more than 160 people, including 37 children.
