Camp Mystic reopening for summer 2026

[Anonymous]

What's pathetic is that even after the terrible tragedy of last summer, the camp owners couldn't come up with a thorough safety plan for emergencies for this summer. They seem incredibly incompetent and unable to answer basic safety-related questions in court.

Some of the DCUM "moms" are batshit crazy over the fact that some families can make their own decisions.

No different from New England. This has nothing to do with Texas and everything to do with wealthy parents with a certain childhood.

Please name the New England camp that attempted to reopen after 27 people died there the prior summer?

It’s not weird that rich people like summer camp. It’s weird that rather than just choose a different elite camp, their kids must go back to THIS CAMP after it has proven it’s total incompetence, if not criminal negligence.

Did you bother to look at the comments back on the plan they submitted? Assuming the state applies the same expectations to other camps, nearly all of them are going to have deficiencies.

I imagine the state will try to withhold a license to open the other camp. But it just be for show. They will appeal and immediately be allowed to open.

It should be concerning that any camp can't produce a plan for emergencies and evacuations, especially if that close to a river. Didn't provide info regarding structures located in a floodway or floodplain? Didn't provide info regarding who should be responsible and
what actions should take place in an emergency? Didn't think a way to communicate with counselors might be a wee bit important?

About 100 people die in flash floods in the US each year. Considering this was the largest flood in documented history in this area, and significantly more severe than others in recent years, you haven't made much a case for "total incompetence." FEMA agreed that the level of risk was low enough to warrant removing the Special Flood Hazard Area designation.

Some people think nothing of taking chances with Mother Nature. Others think having a plan for possible emergency situations is important. At the very least, having a way to communicate with one another when responsible for children. I would also question why the removal from a floodplain or floodway was requested by the camp owners other than $$$$.

The camp owners are clearly focused on reopening purely for financial reasons.

The Eastlands were too lazy or cheap to file 2 separate licenses (one for the Guad campus and one for the Cypress Lake campus). Both campuses are under one license. The chief medical officer admitted to abandoning children under her care and also admitted to not dispensing medication to campers although she was solely responsible. That should be enough to get the license rescinded before anything else.

Some of the DCUM "moms" are batshit crazy over the fact that some families can make their own decisions.

And then those families ask for sympathy over foolhardy risk taking decisions.

Keyboard warrior knows everything about everything and always makes the right decision.

You are a fvking idiot.

I know the owners should have had a way to communicate with their counselors and have a viable evacuation plan. If you think otherwise, then you're the idiot.

We know you are a Mystic Stan. You are wasting your breath. We aren’t dazzled by the Eastlands here and we have no skin in the Texas summer camp game. Anyone that would return their child to that specific camp instead of another is a fool.

It sounds like Eastlands still have no plans for any kind of emergency. An outbreak of illness. A fire. An armed intruder. Or bad weather.

I wonder how many injuries or bad occurrences have been quietly dealt with in the past.
