What about cell phones?
This opportunity could be one of the only times in your child’s life when they are disconnected from technology.

Any cell phone brought to Camp Omega will be confiscated. You and your child are responsible for obtaining the confiscated cell phone prior to departure.
Counsel your child that if they need to contact home, they should speak with their counselor. Please trust the camp staff to address the needs of your child. If a situation reaches a point where we believe you should be notified and/or involved, know that you will be consulted.
*Cell Phones are a liability to camper safety: Research shows that cell phone use by youth in general can lead to bullying and unsafe environments. By removing a camper’s access to technology, we avoid possible exposure to the following:
-Bullying via social media
-Inappropriate / explicit materials
-Unauthorized photographs and videos of other campers
-Homesickness due to lack of immersion into the camp environment
If you have questions or concerns about our Cell Phone Policy, please contact our office at 507-685-4266.
