Could you give up your phone, TV or PlayStation for a week? It's the challenge behind the fundraising campaign 'Ditch Your Device'.
The Spirit of Adventure Trust want to help fund more Kiwi kids onto its team-building voyages and for 10 days while they're on the ship the teens have to give up their phones.
They're off on the trip of a lifetime but no wonder they look nervous. They're saying goodbye to everything they love most - like their phones.
The skipper wants zero distractions for 10 days, so the phones go in the hold.
"No Facebooking, no Twitter, no TikTok for the next 10 days, so you actually get to talk to one another," they said.
The teens are putting on a brave face.
"It's exciting to know I don't have the burden of social media at the moment," one said.
"It'll be interesting whether or not I feel like I'm out of the loop or whether I can just completely forget about it and be enjoying what we're doing at the current time," another said.
A study last year found teens spend 42 hours a week online on average. That figure has doubled in a decade.
But these youngsters have spent 10 days connecting in the old-fashioned way. How'd they go?
"I wouldn't have had it any other way, 10 days without a phone was nothing," one said.
"You were that occupied doing other things which you didn't realise you would do that you just forgot about it and still haven't touched my phone since," another added.
No one is apparently any the worse for wear for their digital detox.
"They're just blown away by the opportunity to connect on a greater level. The digital detox is what does that," said Spirit of Adventure head of marketing and engagement Chantelle Harper.
And anyone can participate in that. The Spirit of Adventure is launching a Ditch the Device fundraiser campaign for anyone to detox from August 7-16.
It may help that bad dose of device addiction.
"We have them back right now but none of them want them on, we don't want them on," one teen said.
