Organizers of Camp Grounded, a sort of summer camp-technology detox clinic mashup that started in California and is spreading across the country, think that isn't long enough.
The camp started three years ago in California, where it quickly garnered the attention of the New York Times.
Here's the deal: At check-in, people wearing haz-mat suits will strip you of all your digital devices. No phones, no laptops, no tiny TV sets, no iPads, not even a blinky light or glow stick for four days.
For the next few days they spend their time playing – walking on stilts, tickling (yes, tickling), participating in color “wars,” learning survival skills and swimming in the lake. There’s a silent dinner one night, a camp dance the next and a camp-wide talent show the last.
