Cell phones are discouraged to reduce the possibility of damage to the phone
and the magnitude of homesickness, as well as the status symbols and hi-tech
distractions they can become. The main camp phone and the director's cell phone
are always available for emergency purposes. If you have a serious reason for
your son to bring a cell phone, please call the camp director beforehand at 773-283-1099.
