Camp Mystic, which tragically lost 27 people in devastating floods earlier this year, has announced a partial reopening of a sister site in 2026. This decision has drawn sharp criticism from grieving families, including those of a missing 8-year-old girl. Parents argue that reopening, especially near the river where the tragedy occurred and a child remains missing, is insensitive and premature, urging the camp to prioritize recovery and accountability instead.
