Mobile phones at summer camp: rules, reasons and how to reach your child

At friLingue, phones stay put away during the day. Children get them back for an hour every evening after dinner to keep in touch, and keep them during excursions for safety reasons and to take photos. If your child needs to call you, they can do so at any time, and if you want to reach them, a simple call to the camp leader is all it takes. We've applied this rule since 2020, and we've had time to see its effects: children get used to it very quickly, play together much more, and even those who grumble on the first day end up recognising the benefits.
