**Important 2021 Notice**

Due to COVID-19 and its implications to in-person group meetings, we have proactively decided to transition this summer's institute to an online platform. 


As a result of this transition, we are drastically reducing costs in an effort to continue accommodating students from all economic backgrounds.

 

With the increased need to social distance, online communication may seem like a daunting option for summer camps. However, attending an online debate camp provides campers with skills they will need for their upcoming years as a debater. Online debate is becoming very prevalent, and may continue to occur in the Fall due to COVID-19. Attending camp over the summer will assist students in learning how to navigate debate functions in an online environment, which will be a huge benefit for those who attend.


We understand that this is a troubling time, and we are here to help. Please contact us at debategmu @ gmail if you have any questions or concerns.
