I just gave her a Tracfone. I know most people don't want to give their kids cellphones in the summer, but it was just so wonderful. It was good for me while she was away becuase she was able to call me whenever she felt scared or homesick. I got her a Nokia which cost like 10 dollars and she could play all those games on it like Tetris and Sudoku. Plus Tracfone was able to give me an unbelievable deal. I bought her this double minutes feature which gave her 120 minutes for under twenty dollars. I highly suggest worried parents checking it out! Saved a lot of anxiety on my part.
