Century-Old Private Camp Files Bankruptcy After Catastrophic Flood
What happened
A century-old private Christian girls’ camp filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization plan on September 25 due to a 2025 flood that caused catastrophic failure and the death of 27 campers and counselors. The owners, the Eastland family, have been through a process of seeking a buyer for the property. The bankruptcy plan includes the auctioning off of the 749 acres (3 square kilometers) of land and other assets.

Why it matters
The owners are facing fierce opposition from victims’ families and some state lawmakers regarding the future of the damaged buildings and camp. While the plan does not require a buyer to operate the property as a camp, it states a preference for a buyer who will maintain the historic mission of the site.
The Guadalupe River's hydrological state is the primary driver of flooding and risk within Central Texas.
