Abstract
A teen without their phone. This almost seems like a rarity these days as society has accepted personal technology as an integral part of young people’s identity. For outdoor practitioners, expedition leaders, and camp leaders, this is a divisive topic. While some educators seek to embrace the technological revolution to better connect with young participants, others shun it and see the outdoors as the ideal place for a “digital detox.” During my research, it became apparent that asking and understanding teenagers’ perspectives was essential to explore the place of mobile phone technology.
