Camp Mystic — where 27 young campers and staffers were killed in raging Texas floods — will reopen at a nearby site next summer with new safety protocols amid pushback from disheartened parents.
In an email sent to the families of the victims on Monday, the Christian summer camp announced it plans to follow “requirements of the camp safety legislation you bravely championed,” upon reopening.
About an hour later, the camp sent an email to the rest of the families announcing its decision to reopen. 3
“We are not only rebuilding cabins and trails, but also a place where laughter, friendship, and spiritual growth will continue to flourish,” the email to past campers obtained by the New York Times read.
“We look forward to welcoming you back inside the green gates,” the camp wrote.
