Cell Phone Policy
Camp Longleaf is a cell-phone free environment. We believe that by having our campers “un-plug,” they will engage with the outside world and gain more from their camp experience. Going cell-phone free has many benefits for camp...- Promote socialization among campers
- Remove the divide between “the haves and the have-nots” in each cabin
- Reduce stress associated with damage, loss or theft of electronics
- Reduce home sickness by focusing on camp rather than situations or people at home
- Give your children a much needed break from the world of technology
