Cell Phones
Students can bring cell phones, but we ask them to limit their use on the ride to CIY. I ask them to stay off social media, YouTube, play games, watch movies, etc. I want that time to bond with friends and not bury their faces in their screens.
During the week. The students are to not be on their phones during sessions, classes, small groups and meal times. We ask students to be off their phones by 11:45 each night. We are asking all students to take this week to limit their phone use to be present with one another and all the week has to offer.
