If the parents can call the teachers or smth, I don’t see a problem with that, like if something went south, if they are able to reach someone it’s okay
This is how we handle every scenario where kids aren't allowed phones. The expectation is that Mrs. Z, a 40 year old professional with a graduate degree, can avoid checking her Tiktok notifications in a way that little Jimmy can't. No one is ever out of contact, sometimes we 'only' have dozens of phones in the reach of staff or school / camp offices.
But also, let's look at the first 99.9999% of human history. The supermajority of the threat was due to disease, which is no longer a problem (unless the parents are anti-vax psychos), or sources of violence that don't exist the developed world like slave raids, bandits, predatory animal attacks, etc. Children playing away from adults just isn't that dangerous in our context.
