Each kid will be able to put their cell phone in a zip lock bag with their name on it and it will placed into a secure bin and stored safely for the week. We know we have enough great things for you to do at camp that you won’t miss them. Camp phones with a calling card (can be purchased at the camp store) are available for students to call home. Sharp Top Cove will be one of the greatest adventures of your student’s life, so we don’t think that they will need any artificial stimulation from alcohol or drugs. Leaders reserve the right to look through belongings if there is any suspicion. Campers who violate this policy will be sent home at the parent’s expense. We will have a great week together!
