Camps Telling Kids to Leave the Laptops and Cell Phones at Home (Switched)

Jul 23rd 2009 5:56PM I couldn't agree more. Too often kids are attached to their electronics and never spend a day outdoors in the pool, playing baseball, or shooting hoops; but as a parent I still feel the need to talk to my child while they are at camp. I found that the best plan of action was through TracFone, where I was able to get a plan that allowed me to pay only for the minutes I want used to talk to my children. This means they don't have to waste time texting/talking to friends from home and can just have the phone to call us. I was also looking for something temporary, just for the summer, and TracFone has a no commitment policy and there's no termination fee. Now I can speak with them on a day to day basis and not worry about a huge bill to deal with at the end of the month...thanks TracFone!
