AUSTIN, Texas — A Texas judge on Wednesday declined to fully close Camp Mystic — the tragic epicenter of the July 4 floods that inundated the Texas Hill Country last year — but prevented the part of the camp where the deadly flooding occurred from being altered.
Judge Maya Guerra Gamble heard evidence in a packed Travis County courtroom on a temporary restraining order and injunction request filed by Will and CiCi Steward, the parents of 8-year-old Cecilia "Cile" Steward, a camper who died in the flooding.
Gamble granted a temporary injunction barring the all-girls summer camp along the Guadalupe River from altering or remodeling any structure where campers were housed during the tragedy.
She also ordered that the old Guadalupe grounds, where the fatal flooding occurred, be sealed off, including the commissary, rec hall and main office. However, areas outside of those grounds can proceed with construction.
Twenty-five girls, two counselors and Camp Mystic's owner were killed in the historic flooding in Kerr County that swamped the camp. Cile’s body has not been recovered.
