We don't allow campers to be on their phones while at camp. Camp staff including Disciple Team members are also not allowed to be on their phones while working or in view of campers. We have also found that Disciple Team members that spend their free time only on their phones miss out on the spiritual, relational, and fun opportunities that Trout's camp environment offers mainly being outside, watching sunsets/rises, listening for the call of loons on the lake, or deer moving through the woods. We do our best to provide a Disciple Team experience where students learn to work hard, gain skills, grow in their faith, develop positive relationship with bosses and peers, all away from screens as much as possible
Expect that students will only have the ability to use their phone for a maximum of 1 hour per day.
