I've seen a lot of debate over this on the forum and have seen conflicting things at camp. The first year I went (SC), nobody had one, but me and several other campers used MP3 players all we wanted at night.
On my second trip (SA), they had a more strict message on electronics. They said don't use them at all, but it wasn't enforced, and councelors told me I could just use my iPod at night (which was the only time I wanted it). I saw a kid in my bay using his phone.
Now I'm going again, but I really don't want to have to go through the process of waiting in line and using my calling card. I'm also flying alone, and I will need to be able to call my parents in case anything happens.
I have a cheapo phone, so it's not the end of the world if it's lost or stolen. If I'm only using it to call family before I go to bed, is it a problem?
Thank You

Most kids have a cell to call home at night. You are not supposed to have it during the day. If any of my kids had it I'd just tell them to put it away. I never really had problems with kids and cells. I never had any kids lose a cell. The little kids tend to lose wallets etc. So basically, bring it but lock it in your locker and you won't have any problems.
