Do Camps Have Wifi?

Hey.

When at a camp how do we get to keep in touch with people at home and go online? Aren't camps in really rural places? Is there even internet access? I can't go a day without internet :O

At most camps you will have at least semi-regular access to the net. Most camps have Wifi especially for the staff to use on their time off 🙂 Get your friends and family to write you snail mail when you're at camp too, its sooo fun to actually get something in the post!! And you can get eSims that are reasonably cheap to call home on. Plenty of options so you won't be in the wilderness.

Whaaaaat I'm not going to a camp without Wifi !!

Do you think it would be worth it to bring a laptop with a wireless internet dongle?? Would it be able to pick up any reception????

Most camps don't let you use your phone when working and have limited Wi-Fi access. You do get time off though when you can use your phone/laptop/tablet but usually in the main buildings or staff common areas. Remember every camp is different though and I think some of the private/more luxurious/expensive camps will have much better coverage/options.

Also remember camp is a great way to make friends, chat to people and get off your phone. This might sound crazy, but when you get to camp you will understand.
