The Texas Department of State Health Services has notified Camp Mystic that it has not met the health and safety requirements necessary to receive a license for reopening this summer. The girls camp was the site of catastrophic flooding last year that resulted in 27 deaths.

State officials conducted a review of the camp's compliance with safety requirements following the deadly flooding incident. The review determined that significant changes must be made before the facility can be cleared to operate again.

Camp Mystic has been working to address the deficiencies identified by state regulators. The Texas Department of State Health Services has not specified a timeline for when the camp might be able to meet the required standards.

The flooding at Camp Mystic occurred during what officials described as a devastating natural disaster that overwhelmed the facility's safety measures. The incident prompted increased scrutiny of camp safety protocols and emergency preparedness requirements across Texas.

While the camp's license remains in jeopardy, officials have indicated that reopening remains possible if the facility can successfully implement the required safety improvements and demonstrate compliance with state regulations.
