At this time, we encourage you to download Slack on your phone. While the computer is best for setup and focused work time, the reality is that our phones will be the more common mode of use as we move about our days at camp.


One final thought! You may feel some tension between all this talk about Slack and some of our core tenets of camp: being present with each other, getting off of our devices, and being out in nature. It’s worth remembering that our campers don’t have any devices with them at all! Our goal with Slack is to fill a crucial need of being able to quickly and remotely communicate with each other—not to glue ourselves to our devices. As we get into the rhythm of camp and dive a bit deeper with Slack during Staff Training, we’ll discover ways to manage and adjust our relationships to our devices, while supporting each other with clear and open communication. Thanks for coming on this Slacktastic journey!
