While understanding our attachments to electronics and gadgets, we hope you will consider leaving at home iPads, iPods, MP3 Players, DS, PSP, portable DVD Players, electronic games, knives, and valuable items. The leadership team cannot prevent loss or damage to valuable items.
Mobile phones can be used to communicate with family during the camp. Otherwise, limited use of electronics will be encouraged during this weekend.
