Camp Mystic director apologizes to families of campers, counselors who died in flood

Speaking on behalf of his family and Camp Mystic at a state hearing Tuesday morning, Edward Eastland apologized to the families of campers and counselors who died last year in their care when a massive flood swept through the camp on July 4.

“I think about the night of the flood every moment of every day,” Eastland said, choking on some of his words. “We tried our hardest that night and it wasn’t enough to save your daughters. We were devastated alongside you. I regret not communicating more with each of you earlier. And I’m so sorry.”
