How can parents contact their child(ren)?

All CISS programmes have free WiFi available for students.  Parents may contact their child(ren) on their mobile devices using a web-based app of their choice.  Parents must note that students are not permitted to use their mobile devices during lessons.  As well, mobile devices should not be used at night, as this could be disruptive to their room-mate or other students.

Only in the case of an emergency, parents who cannot reach their child(ren) directly may call the CISS emergency line.  Staff will then ensure that we put parents in touch with their child(ren) immediately.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING MOBILE USAGE AT SWALLOWDALE CAMP:

We have a strict cell phone policy at Swallowdale Camp. Campers will each have
a chance to call home as soon as they arrive at camp. Once this is done, cell phones are collected by camp staff during the check-in process and are kept in a secure location. Campers will be allowed to retrieve their devices twice per week:

• Tuesday from 6pm to Wednesday at 9pm
• Friday from 6pm to Saturday at 9pm

Campers will have use of their devices for a 24-hour period after which they must return their devices to the staff, where they will be stored again until the following week or until the camper departs.

Swallowdale Camp parents receive a link to a special app to receive daily updates for their child while they are at camp and do not have access to their device.
