Parents of Camp Mystic camper missing in floods say they're 'devastated' by plan to reopen

The parents of a girl who remains missing after the flooding that hit Texas this summer said they were “devastated” by Camp Mystic’s plans to reopen next year

The parents of a girl who remains missing after the flooding that hit Texas this summer said they were “devastated” by Camp Mystic’s plans to reopen next year.

Cile Steward was among the 27 campers and counselors killed in July’s catastrophic floods in Kerr County.

“Our families remain trapped in the deepest throes of grief, yet your communications treat our never-ending nightmare as little more than a brief pause before resuming business as usual,” her parents, Cici and Will Steward, wrote in a letter Wednesday that was obtained by NBC News.

In a letter to camp families Monday, Camp Mystic officials detailed plans to partially open next summer. It said the area of the camp along the Guadalupe River that was destroyed by the floodwaters will not reopen next year.

“As we work to finalize plans, we will do so in a way that is mindful of those we have lost,” the letter said.
