Sam Schubert
In July 2000, camper Sam Shubert was involved in an accident that occurred while he was on a canoe trip. His canoe hit a fallen tree and overturned, pinning him between the tree and the canoe. He was unconscious under water for nearly 12 minutes while awaiting emergency assistance and spent the next six weeks at various hospitals in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) before dying six weeks after his accident due to post-anoxic demyelination. The Schubert family and its insurance company filed a lawsuit against Camp Ozark, and in 2002 they were awarded $5 million in damages by a Harris County jury.
