Consistent with our mission to support a positive community of individuals who share and grow together, WeHaKee chooses to limit the use of electronic devices and other technology, yet embraces such technology when it engages campers and staff together in community life and enhances the welcoming environment that is Camp WeHaKee.
E-Mail and Internet Based Communication
Use of computers and the internet is possible for camp program enrichment that is guided & supervised by camp program staff. However, unless approved by the Directors, campers do not have access to e-mail, IM services, or other forms of internet based communications while attending Camp WeHaKee.
Telephones and Cell Phones
Campers are not permitted to have or use cell phones while at camp. Cell phones brought to camp will be securely stored in the camp office and returned upon departure. Unless approved by the Directors, campers do not have access to or use of telephones or cell phones while attending Camp WeHaKee.
Audio and Video Players and Related Equipment
The camp provides the use of audio and video players as an enhancement for program activities as determined by the camp program staff. Camper use of these items is to be supervised and specifically a part of program.
Camper use of personal audio players (iPods, mp3 players, etc.) is limited to use on the buses to/from camp unless determined otherwise by Camp WeHaKee staff. Personal video players are prohibited at all times, including on the buses to/from camp.
Cameras, Video Recorders, and Other Image Capturing Devices
The use of cameras is welcomed as a way for each camper to record experiences while attending WeHaKee. Campers are asked to use them in a positive and respectful manner while at camp or participating in camp related events.
Cameras, video recorders, or any other type of image capturing devices are strictly prohibited in restrooms and/or shower houses at anytime (including the taking of pictures or video from outside these facilities of images within through windows, doors or other openings). Photos, video or other images of WeHaKee Camp for Girls or its participants cannot be placed on websites, social networking sites (such as Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, etc.), etc.
The use of images of Camp WeHaKee participants that are used to intentionally embarrass, threaten, or harm others (emotionally, physically or otherwise) is strictly prohibited.
Communications After and Beyond Camp
Camp WeHaKee recognizes that campers and counselors develop close, trusting relationships with one another at camp and that these relationships are healthy, wholesome and beneficial to campers and staff alike. We also recognize that it is natural for campers to want to keep in touch with their counselors after camp. As an organization, however, Camp WeHaKee cannot take responsibility for what may occur as the result of such contact.
If a parent or legal guardian does not want their camper to be a part of the exchange of such information with a camp staff member, the parent or legal guardian must indicate this intention by providing a written request expressly indicating their intention to limit or prohibit this exchange of contact information.
