Phone/Internet Policies

Cell Phones and Wi-Fi:

At CHWC, we encourage a balanced approach to phone usage. There will be designated times when phones should be put away so you can be fully present, meet new people, and fully immerse yourself in everything the camp experience offers. But don’t worry – we’re not asking you to completely unplug! Stay connected with us on social media (@heartworkcamp) to keep up with all the highlights and share your experience.

Free Wi-Fi is available at our hotel, so you’ll have access to FaceTime, Zoom, and other online communication tools.

Before you travel, we recommend checking with your carrier regarding any additional fees for international use. Most major carriers offer affordable international plans. In case of emergency or if a camper doesn’t have a phone, our staff will have phones available for essential use.

Headphones:

Headphones are only allowed in sleeping areas. We aim to build connections within your group and with others you’ll serve, and listening to music can hinder these opportunities for conversation and relationship-building.

Group Communication:

We also suggest that each group establishes a group text or email thread before arriving at Workcamp. This allows the group leader to keep everyone updated and confirm your safe arrival with those at home.
