Evening Camp! “Middie Intro to Model UN!” (Rising Grades 6-8 ONLY)

Summer Camp Intro to Model UN (Rising Grades 6-8 ONLY) ! Based on popular demand, we are THRILLED to introduce our NEWEST summer camp evening class! We have developed a 12-class hour, in-person evening camp that simplifies the principles of debate for our newest junior diplomats and also makes it as FUN as possible! In our classes, we will cover: Public Speaking Research Diplomacy Debate Parliamentary Procedures All students will participate in various games/activities to allow them to understand and develop their diplomacy skills. As usual, ALL classes (with more than 8 students) are taught by two instructors (public speaking professionals who are also comedians/performers) to ensure that all students receive plenty of individualized attention and feedback. Further, for all exercises, our limited size classes are broken in half to make sure that each student is improving in a smaller group setting. Short take-home assignments may be given. Students are expected to complete them in order to gain the most from this class! Day 1 Introduction to Model UN and Research Day 2 Understanding Debate and Committees Day 3 Negotiation Skills Day 4 Resolution Writing and Voting Day 5 Voting and Practice Simulation Day 6 Full Simulation (Parents are invited!) Start your Fall ready with new knowledge and experience that no other event teaches.
