Not only were all the lab leaders exceptional, the competition and amount of practice debates/ evidence could not have better prepared me for the upcoming season. The campus is beautiful and there is so much fun stuff to do in Ann Arbor that I'd regard it as one of the best summer experiences anyone could have. Thanks for the camp experience!"
