She will have a phone in her room. You should have
received this number at check in. Do not leave a message for your daughter

that you have her contact you or lend her a cell phone so that she is not sitting
alone in her dorm room waiting for parents to call. |

How do I work my dorm room phone? |

A. |
The phones in the rooms will only receive calls.
You will not be able to call out on them. If you are expecting a call and
the phone does not ring, check the ringer to make sure it is turned up loud enough
to hear. You can also have another camper call your phone from theirs to make
sure it is working. See a counselor for any other problems. Cell phones
are going to be the best way to contact your parents. Pay phones are also
available in the dorm. Campers will not be able to check voicemail on the
dorm room phone. |
