Should I bring my phone?

Yes, BUT...

Phones are only allowed in the dorms during the program. Social media, including but not limited to tiktok, IG, twitter, YouTube, etc. are not allowed while participating in the LIT Program.

This allows the LIT to focus on relationships with others and with the Lord.

Phones should be primarily used for parent communication during drop off and pick up. Personal music (in headphones) during dorm time is also permitted.

It's hard, but you can do it! 🙂
