Camp Chaos Averted: How a Simple Walkie Talkie Saved the Day
It was the third day of summer camp, and 30 excited kids had just finished breakfast before setting off on a nature scavenger hunt. As the camp director, Emma had triple-checked the headcounts and maps.
But by 11:20 AM, something was off.
Two kids hadn’t returned.
She called their phones. No signal. Just forest and fear.
Panic started to rise, but Emma stayed calm. She pulled out her CARRBORG X13 Lite 4G Walkie Talkie, connected directly to the assistant leader stationed on the trail’s far side.
“Section C, do you have eyes on Ethan and Mia?”
“Affirmative. They missed a turn. We’ve got them. On our way back.”
That was it. No chaos. No delay. No overwhelmed cell towers.
Thanks to secure group communication and instant LTE response, a potentially traumatic event ended with a group hug and juice boxes.
Emma now insists that every counselor carry a CARRBORG radio—just in case.
