Camp Mystic, a Texas Christian girls camp where 27 people died in July 2025 floods, announced Thursday it is withdrawing its application to reopen this summer — a reversal after the camp owners previously pursued reopening despite ongoing investigations. Grieving families who lost children have spent nearly ten months fighting to keep the camp closed, and the withdrawal means no campers will be placed in the camp's care this year. One family — the Stewards, whose eight-year-old daughter remains missing — questioned why it took the Eastland family nearly ten months to make the withdrawal, calling it a calculated exit from a license they were about to lose rather than a genuine accountability measure.
