the camp doesnt like campers to bring expensive stuff because theyre not responsible with it. Things do get stolen, its a fact of life, and if youre going to be around a bunch of 14 yr old boys from all over the country flaunting expensive merchandise like a lot of campers do shit happens. So their position is its just better if the kids dont bring those things since they shouldnt want or need them at camp. they should be wanting to go skiing and do all the other shit not sit around with a camera filming randoms.
