A growing number of summer camps in the Czech Republic are limiting or outright banning mobile phone use, responding to requests from parents. Nearly half of the camps have implemented complete bans, aiming to encourage children to spend more time offline. Psychologists suggest this "digital detox" can help children develop social skills and cope with challenges without relying on technology. Camp leaders also note that allowing phone calls home can actually worsen homesickness in some children. Experts recommend shorter day camps or gradual preparation through activities like hiking for children who struggle with separation. The move reflects a broader concern about the impact of technology on children’s development and well-being.
