Connie confiscates phones from campers in Disney’s Camp Rock 3.
She takes the phones to prevent information about the competition from leaking. Connie warns that anyone found with a phone will be removed from the contest, making the rule a serious condition of participation.
The restriction becomes central to the plot during the finalists’ bus challenge. The contestants must remain on the bus for 24 hours, and a secretly recorded performance is later posted online. The leak forces Connie and Lark to investigate who still had a phone.
The confiscated objects are phones, not cameras or musical instruments. That distinction matters because the phone rule directly connects the competition’s security, the leaked video, and Fletch’s decision to confess.
