Camp Mystic files for bankruptcy

The scoop from the New York Times:

The company in charge of Camp Mystic, where catastrophic flooding in central Texas killed 28 people last year, filed for bankruptcy protection on Wednesday, according to court records.

The camp’s leadership has been under increasing scrutiny from state officials over its response to sudden and extreme flooding last July, which killed 25 campers, two counselors and the camp’s longtime executive director.
