Parents of missing Camp Mystic flood victim call plan to reopen next year ‘unthinkable’
The parents of the only girl still missing from the July flood at Camp Mystic in Texas are demanding the camp halt its reopening plans. Camp Mystic officials said this week that they plan to reopen part of the camp and build a memorial to the 25 campers and two teenage counselors who were killed in the flood. The plan has drawn complaints from some parents who said they weren’t consulted. CiCi and Will Steward, whose 8-year-old daughter Cici’s body wasn’t recovered, said in a letter to the camp released Thursday that the reopening is “unthinkable.” Families urged the Legislature to pass bills to prevent similar tragedies. Several measures were signed into law in early September.
