Technology at Camp Suisse & Contacting your Child

Technology at Camp Suisse

Telephones and all other electronic devices including laptops, iPads and kindles are collected upon campers’ arrival to camp.
At Camp Suisse we like to focus on developing campers’ key personal skills through a great range of fun, interactive outdoor and educational activities. We do not allow access to the internet for any campers.
Unfortunately we cannot allow campers to keep their phones with them to use as cameras so if you do wish your youngster to take pictures, a separate camera is the best way to do this.
Telephones and other wi-fi devices are collected upon campers’ arrival to camp.

Designated Contact Number

Campers join an age-specific colour group upon arrival. For each colour group there is a contact telephone number on which you will be able to reach your child via the member of staff responsible for their group.
You can also contact your child on their personal mobile phone if they have one.
The only time to call Junior campers is between 17h00 and 18h00 CEST each day. The only time to call Senior campers is between 17h30 and 18h30 CEST each day – their ‘shower hour’ – campers will be having far too much fun to speak to Mum and Dad outside of these times!
Campers who bring a mobile phone to camp are permitted to use them during the above times only.
If you would like to send a written message to your youngster at any time please email us via printing@campsuisse.com and the message will be printed and passed on via your child’s Group Leader.
