2009 NFA-LD Cooperative

Last year, the Lafayette College Debate Camp was a huge success! I know that many of you made good use of the evidence produced by the camp. The camp is returning this year, but in a slightly modified form. The camp will be hosted by Otterbein College in Westerville, Ohio. Because of the new site, the camp has a name change, but not much else has changed.

Camp Details
Location: Otterbein College, Westerville, Ohio
Dates: August 1-9, 2009
Cost: $400.00
Registration Deadline: July 17, 2009

Changes for 2009: Meals are included in the price this year. Also, we will be experimenting with a fellows program. Fellows will be selected by the Camp Director from a pool of applicants. Those selected will work closely with lab leaders to provide primary and supplemental research, help with practice rounds and act as peer mentors/coaches at the camp. Fellows will attend camp free of charge. You can download a Fellows application at the camp website, note that 2 letters of recommendation will be required.

I hope to see more representation of the left-coast at camp this summer. I know the Pacific debaters who attended last year had a great time.

What all is included in this price? Just meals and the price of being at the camp?

The host school is in charge of this. I spoke briefly with Otterbein College’s Nichelle McNabb about this a few weeks back and she thinks she’ll be able to arrange airport runs.

Is this camp only instructional or will attendees will be able to have practice NFA-LD rounds?

I am thinking about sending (and going myself) a few folks. I have to speak to someone about creating an invoice asap (plane tickets) so that I can do this under my grant. What is the easiest way to contact someone about this? Thanks.
