Mobile Phone Guidelines

During camp children are not to have their phone with them for a number of reasons including: * Creating a unique camp experience where children can 'forget' about the outside world and integrate well in the camp environment. * Potential of phone getting st when on camp. Or if st in cottages could raise suspicion amongst children that another child stole their phone. * Potential of phone getting damaged or broken whilst at camp. * Where a child is missing home to the extent where it is causing them emotional distress a Bauetstown staff member will make a call to parents to discuss any other strategies or interventions that could support the child during their time at camp. If the child has their own phone staff may not be aware of conversations regarding missing home and in turn not be able to best support the child. * Potential danger of having phones causing a distraction in activity areas such as high ropes, archery, horses, fishing, canoeing. * Many phones have the ability to take photographs, videos, and connect to the internet and Barretstown aims to ensure we respect the parent's decision regarding what their child can access and upload onto the internet.

Procedures for communicating with parents and campers * Parents and campers are made aware in camp literature before arriving that we have no mobile phone policy and the reasons behind this explained. * If parents wou1d 1ike their chi1dren to have their phone with them for travelling they shou1d be made aware through camp 1iterature that the child will hand over their phone when registering with the med shed. * The phones will be stored in a safe location in the med shed and returned to the camper n departure day. * Campers can send postcards home during their time at camp. * Parents can contact Barres town directly to enquire how their children are during camp.
