Fourth Wrongful Death Suit Claims Camp Mystic Ignored Flood Risks Along Guadalupe River

The family of 8-year-old Eloise “Lulu” Peck has filed a fourth wrongful death lawsuit against Camp Mystic, alleging negligence in protecting children from recognized flood risks along the Guadalupe River. The legal claim asserts that the camp positioned cabins dangerously close to the river, ignoring decades of historical flood incidents. Lulu was among 27 victims who lost their lives in the July 4 flood, which transformed camp cabins into debris. Attorney Randy Howry, representing the Peck family, emphasized that the lawsuit seeks answers to questions the families believe the camp has not addressed. Camp Mystic's attorneys have expressed sympathy for the victims’ families but firmly reject claims of negligence, stating that the water levels were unprecedented.

They noted the lack of an adequate warning system during the incident. As a response, Camp Mystic plans to reopen unaffected areas of the camp while assessing long-term needs for reconstruction. The tragic flood incident has led to multiple lawsuits and highlights ongoing concerns about camp safety in Texas.
