Does Skylake allow parents to contact their child by telephone?
Parents are free to call camp at any time and may request that Camp Counselors call home regularly with reports. But yes, “no telephone and no cell phone” is a Skylake “rule.” We strongly believe in the traditional concept of camp an environment where children grow and find their own identity. They are forced to work out situations without their parents there for them. It is simply amazing how fast children learn to resolve issues on their own when their parents are not instantly available. And, of course, our “no phoning home” policy is not a rule “carved in stone.” There are many circumstances where staff arranges for parents and children to speak.
