Camp Safety Reform Urged After Camp Mystic Flood Tragedy

Grieving Parents' Plea for Camp Safety

• 💔 Cole and Ally Naylor, parents of eight-year-old Win, are speaking out publicly for the first time since the tragic flash floods at Camp Mystic.
• 📣 They are urging state lawmakers to approve camp safety reform before the legislative session ends.

Key Safety Reforms Proposed

• 🏠 Parents are advocating for mandates to keep cabins out of flood plains.
• 🚨 They also call for the creation of an early detection system for flash floods.
• 📚 Additionally, they emphasize the need to improve training for camp staff and revamp emergency response protocols.

Legislative Action and Urgency

• ⏳ With only 16 days left in the legislative session, the Nailers stress the urgency of passing these flood safety bills.
• 🗓️ They highlight that the legislature does not reconvene until 2027, meaning a camp season will occur before any new laws are enacted.
• ✅ While a bill for an early detection system has passed and is heading to the governor, requirements for training and response have yet to be finalized.

A Call for Preparedness

• 🏕️ The Nailers want camps to continue but emphasize the critical need for children to return home safely from camp.
• ⚠️ Their goal is to prevent another disaster by ensuring camps are properly prepared for such events.
