(WBAP/KLIF) – HUNT, TX – Camp Mystic has announced plans to reopen with new safety measures five months after a catastrophic flood killed 27 of its campers and counselors. Camp officials sent a message to parents that stated that new flood monitors and generators have been installed and that every cabin will have two-way radios. Camp Mystic is planning on reopening its Cypress Creek campus which wasn’t damaged in the floods, and are evaluating plans to rebuild its Guadalupe River site. The families of several little girls who died in the floods have sued the owners, claiming that they failed to take the necessary steps to keep campers safe.
