U.S. Trustee appoints 12-member unsecured creditors’ committee

U.S. Trustee Kevin M. Epstein appointed a 12-member Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors under section 1102(a)(1), according to the notice of committee appointment. The committee consists of Clarke Baker, Ryan DeWitt, Matthew Childress, Brandt Dillon, Carrie Hanna, Davin Hunt, Christopher Jacobe, John Lawrence, J. Patrick Marsh, Michael McCown, Timothy Peck and Andrew Sheedy. The notice does not identify their individual claim types or capacities.

The appointment gives unsecured creditors a formal, organized constituency in the case. The committee can now become a principal counterparty on estate strategy, investigate the debtors’ conduct and financial affairs, retain restructuring professionals subject to court approval, and negotiate over any sale or plan process—adding organized creditor oversight where none previously existed.

Camp Mystic and three affiliates remain in the opening phase of jointly administered Chapter 11 cases, with the camp closed for the 2026 season, a small staff preserving the property, and the restructuring focused on centralizing flood-related claims, marshaling insurance assets, and resolving litigation rather than pursuing a presently disclosed sale or plan. The cases followed a July 4, 2025 flood at the Guadalupe River campus that caused 27 deaths and extensive property damage, leading to wrongful-death litigation, regulatory scrutiny, and cancellation of the 2026 season; the debtors also hold more than $1 million of camper deposits and prepaid tuition, some potentially applicable to a 2027 season, according to the CRO’s second-day declarationDkt. 45.

The affiliated debtors filed Chapter 11 petitions on June 24, 2026, under governance resolutions authorizing them to seek debtor-in-possession financing, consider asset dispositions, and develop a reorganization or liquidation plan, as reflected in the voluntary petition and accompanying resolutionsDkt. 1. They initially sought joint administration and authority to pay approximately $40,754 of accrued wages, related payroll taxes and benefits, and limited other workforce obligations so that 11 salaried employees could continue maintaining the grounds and facilities, as described in the first-day declarationDkt. 15.

The case is now transitioning from commencement relief toward claims and stakeholder organization. The court entered utility and cash-management orders, eliminating the need for the cancelled July 24 hearingDkt. 97, while insurance and tax-payment motions proceeded without unresolved objections under the debtors’ insurance certificate of no objectionDkt. 98 and tax certificate of no objectionDkt. 99. The U.S. Trustee noticed a July 23 organizational meeting for an official unsecured creditors’ committee in the committee meeting noticeDkt. 95, and the debtors’ latest substantive request seeks streamlined retention and payment procedures for ordinary-course tax, accounting, and legal professionals through the ordinary-course professionals motionDkt. 100. No financing facility, sale timetable, plan, or future hearing milestone is yet disclosed in the supplied record.
