Is the “no technology” policy at your camp compatible with the campers of today?

“No technology at camp” is a sacred part of many of our summer camp cultures. The value of unplugging. Being “in the moment”. “Being real” are all things plastered all over our website and marketing materials.

Is this the right way? Or is it just the way that…wait for it…we’ve always done it.

The answer definitely isn’t clear - but Travis and Chris wade into the murky deeps of the techno-sphere and how camps can more intentionally think about technology at their camp.
