What should a camp do?

With cell phones, text messaging and more how do kids and families adapt to a week away at camp with no electronic connections?
Maybe the camps adapt instead.
Camp Chinqueka in Connecticut offered computers as part of a journalism program last year, but now they’ve taken them away. “The girls were staying indoors too much.”
Instead the camp now offers photos and information online for parents to check in on their kids (password protected of course). Other camps are offering services like podcasts and live video streaming
NPR has information on the camp and the online services the camp and others are offering.
One thing that intrigues me though is the idea of camp lasting more than one week. Apparently it’s more common than I would have thought – but growing up we were never at camp more than four or five days a week.
What about you? Did you stay longer than a week? What were the advantages or disadvantages?
