Policy Debate Camp Option
If doing event camps only, and not policy debate, select "event camps only" from the drop down box and select which camps in the next section. If doing 2 week policy debate and some event camps in week 3, select both.
I plan to attend: (Select only one; both begin June 22, 2008)
Please indicate your experience level. We do lab assignments by experience level, which helps students at all levels. Novice means nearly no policy debate experience - perhaps a class or a couple of tournaments at most. Intermediate means under two years policy experience (perhaps some in other formats) and no camp experience. Most debaters coming off their novice year would select intermediate. Advanced generally indicates two or more years, or perhaps prior camp experience.
Please Check the Appropriate Box
Events Camp Options
You may attend any event camps you select, and they need not be back to back. You can even attend the 2 week policy camp, and do some of the week 3 event camps.
Please select any/all camps you wish to attend on the list below. If you are attending the 2 week debate institute, only the camps after that institute should be selected. If you aren't attending the debate institute, all camps are available. One registration deposit of $100 covers as many of our camps as you wish to attend.
We reserve the right to cancel any individual camp for low turnout, but we consider this unlikely. We also reserve the right to cap attendance for staffing reasons, but we will update this form if any mini-camp reaches its cap.
The event camp prices do not include any room & board fees, but we can arrange for dorm rooms at $25/night if you request before the camp's entry deadline. This process will be handled through the secondary mailings. Meals can be purchased in the Campus Union or Cafeteria, as needed.
If you have previously enrolled but need to change the camps you are attending, please email Dr. Eric Morris and we will adjust your entry accordingly.
Deposit (Both Policy Debate & Events camps)
A $100 nonrefundable deposit is required with each enrollment. This covers any number of camps for summer 2009. The deposit is applied toward the student's total tuition bill. No key deposit is required, but lost key charges will be billed to the student.
You may pay a portion of the registration fee, or the full amount, at any date prior to registration. However, the full remaining balance must be paid at registration. University regulations prevent us from accepting credit cards as payment. Students should bring cash, traveler's checks in the right denominations, a money order or two separate personal checks (one for the key deposit and one for tuition). Your ability to help us in this regard will make registration a much easier process.
Students will receive a secondary mailing after their application is accepted. The secondary mailing will provide you with required forms (including medical treatment consent & information), and will include the option to mutually request debate partners or roommates if you wish.
Please note: Registration Deadline is Friday, June 5, 2009. If you think your deposit will arrive later, please contact ericmorris@missouristate.edu with the details.We are eager to work with you, but also must protect the camp from charges associated with no-shows.
If you fill out this form after the registration deadline, we may have finalized our staffing and room accommodations (at which point we may be unable to accept late entrants). You can contact the same email to determine if it is possible to accept you into the camp.While deposits are generally non-refundable, we certainly would refund any deposit if registration were declined due to the deadline.
