In late September 2025, Camp Mystic announced it would reopen for the 2026 summer season, stunning and enraging bereaved families. Jenny Gettin accused the camp of putting profit over safety. Lindsay McCrory called it unthinkable while one camper, Ceil Steward, remained unrecovered. Parents petitioned the state to deny Mystic a license. Most victim families filed lawsuits alleging gross negligence, pointing specifically to the Eastlands' successful FEMA appeal to reclassify cabins out of the flood hazard area — a known risk they allegedly never disclosed to parents. [1] — Jenny Gettin "What is the rush? It shows that they want profit over camp safety for right now." 36:47
Cabin manual said 'Stay in your cabins'
The counselor's emergency manual instructed staff to stay in cabins during flooding, and stated all cabins were in 'high, safe locations' — a claim parents called flabbergasting.
