[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You might want to look for a camp that doesn't allow electronics.  The immediacy of the communication would make many parents hop in their cars to pick up their unhappy, bored and/or homesick kids right away.  My son wrote me a letter (his first letter to me ever) during his second year of camp and he wrote that he hated it and wanted to come home.  I emailed the director that day and asked if he could find out what the problem was from his counselor.  He emailed me back the next day that a horse had stepped on my son's foot and he was fine.  That was what prompted him to write a letter about how he wanted to come home.  When I picked him up, he laughed it off and said he had almost forgotten about that.  By the time I got the letter (heck, by the time the letter was mailed), that was old news.  If he had texted me that he hated it and wanted to come home, it would've turned into something when it was really nothing.  Anyway, something to think about.[/quote]
Exactly. No electronics. That was part of the whole appeal of sleepaway camp for us.
