Lawmakers Head to Camp Mystic as Flood Tragedy Investigation Intensifies

Texas lawmakers are set to visit Camp Mystic today as investigations continue into last summer’s deadly Hill Country floods. Twenty-five campers and two counselors were killed when floodwaters swept through the camp on July 4. The visit follows a tense court hearing where camp leaders testified about the events leading up to the disaster. Attorneys for the family of 8-year-old Cile Steward, whose body has not been recovered, urged lawmakers to closely examine safety measures at the site. Multiple investigations are ongoing, including reviews by Texas Rangers and state health officials. Camp Mystic has applied to reopen a separate location for the upcoming summer.
