[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, the kids can't call parents whenever they want (or at least at regularly scheduled times) while at camp? I remember phoning my parents nightly from overnight camp (and I also remember lining up with friends to use the phone after dinner). --A European.[/quote] At most camps, no. The belief is that the phone calls make homesickness worse, not better. At our camp, we are allowed to send a daily one-way e-mail that is passed along at lunchtime. Parents of new campers get a phone call to check in during the first week. That seems to work well. [/quote]
