CELL PHONES - Parents Please Read!
We know that parents and children value the ability to be able to call each other at a moments notice. For that reason we do not prohibit cell phones at camp. However, cell phones should not be seen or used in the classroom or during any structured activity.
Parents are responsible for setting clear guidelines for cell phone use with their student. Duke Youth Programs is not responsible for large cell phone bills resulting from students loaning their phones to friends or calling each other after lights out and talking all night.
