Camp Mystic will reopen next summer at a new Texas site after a deadly 2025 flood killed 27 at its former location.

Camp Mystic plans to reopen next summer at its Cypress Lake site in Texas, following a deadly July 2025 flash flood that killed 27 campers and counselors at its Guadalupe location, part of widespread flooding that claimed at least 136 lives. The original site remains too damaged to reopen. In response, new state laws now prohibit building in high-risk flood zones, require emergency plans, staff training, and warning systems, with $240 million from Texas’s rainy day fund supporting disaster relief and improved forecasting. The camp will build a memorial honoring the victims, emphasizing their joy and impact, as leaders work with experts to meet updated safety standards.
