Phone/Internet Policies

We will be using a common sense approach when it comes to phone usage. There will be key moments when we ask you to put your phone away and focus on what’s happening around you—like during Mass, programs, worksites and lights out. We want you to be fully present, connect with new people, and make the most of everything CHWC has to offer. But don’t worry, we’re not asking you to disconnect completely! Feel free to follow us on social media (@heartworkcamp) to stay updated and share all the incredible moments you experience at camp.

  • Cell service may not be as strong as it is at home. Please be prepared for potential spotty coverage.
  • WiFi is also not often available, but when it is, passwords will only be provided to adults who have a legitimate need for it (e.g., for work or medical purposes).

The use of headphones is restricted to sleeping areas. They will not be allowed at worksites or during evening activities. One of the goals of Workcamp is to help build relationships within your group, with members of other groups, and with the people you will serve. Conversation and relationship building are hindered when campers are listening to music rather than the people around them.

We also suggest that before coming to camp, each group set up a group text or email that will allow the leader to contact home and let everyone know your group has arrived safely.
