From the story: “Little has changed at Camp Becket since the first boys came here by train 105 summers ago. The cabins, nestled into the woods, have no electricity. The photography classes are taught in a darkroom, not at a computer. And iPods are forbidden. For entertainment, the children sing songs together. But, as it turns out, there is only so much rustic isolation today’s parents are willing to tolerate. In the age …(when) parents can contact their children almost whenever they want via cellphones, text messages, and e-mails, it is Mom and Dad, not their little campers, who are struggling to let go.”
