My daughter went to her first Cub camp last weekend - only one weekend, but the letter to kids parents specifically said that no phones or ipods or gameboys etc were allowed.
Aparently they had to do that after a couple of years ago several kids phoned home at bedtime and said that they were homesick.
I agree with Ab. The reason to send your kid away is to get them some self confidence and world smarts.
