Overview
- Camp Mystic announced summer 2026 operations at its separate Cypress Lake site, outlining six 10-day sessions from May 30 to Aug. 9 and April tours for enrolled families.
- The camp detailed a flood-detection network using LoRaWAN sensors along Cypress Lake and nearby forks of the Guadalupe River to provide early warnings and guide evacuations to elevated muster points.
- Each cabin will receive two-way radios enabled with NOAA weather alerts, the site will add satellite internet backup, and higher-capacity generators will support power to critical facilities.
- Owners said the plan is designed to comply with, and exceed, new Texas camp-safety requirements enacted after the July 4 disaster that killed 27 campers and counselors.
- Several victims’ families have filed wrongful-death lawsuits alleging negligence at the original riverfront site, and some continue to criticize the decision to reopen at a different property that sustained no flood damage.
