Why WNDI?
|
Individual attention
4 to 1
staff to student ratio and the vast majority of your time will be spent
in small labs with four to six people and a staff member, not in a
lecture room with 100 people; not in a lab with 12 to 16 people with two
staff members.
Practice and drills
You engage
in 8 drills and 10 policy or 14 LD debates with clear feedback and re-dos
in just the first two weeks. Public forum debaters engage in 8 debates
during their first week plus many drills. These begin on the second day
of camp, so you improve day after day—not just at the very end when it is
too late.

Research
You won’t
go home with a few paltry pieces of evidence and you won’t spend endless
hours as a research slave. Our unique staff jump-started research program
gives you the tools to produce high quality evidence in large volumes. In
2007, we produced over 4,500 policy, 750 LD pages (on all ten NFL LD
topics), and several hundred pages on Public Forum topics. Each debater
receives prints of files they choose plus electronic versions of all of
the files.

Instruction diversity
You won’t
get stuck in one lab with one or two lab leaders you might not work with
best. We rotate labs so you work with many if not all of our staff. And
you’ll work with them one-on-one, not just listening to them lecture.

Beautiful location
Whitman College
is located in the Walla Walla valley at the
foothills of the Blue Mountains in southeast Washington. Easily accessed via two
airports as well as Greyhound, the campus is the home of our nationally
recognized liberal arts school with beautiful brick buildings, grass
fields, trees, and rolling streams. Modern, comfortable classrooms feature
fast wireless Internet access with multiple computers and an excellent
library.
Family feel
People at our
camp feel connected, not isolated. Whether you are shy, into sports,
critical, outgoing, whatever, you’ll find your niche. We have delicious and
fun picnics, movie nights, ultimate Frisbee, live concerts, and more fun
activities. We make an effort to reach out to students, to build up
community, and to give people space to be who they are.
Transportation to and from the airport
Our safety
certified driver will pick you up at and take you back to the Walla Walla
airport free of charge or to the Pasco airport or bus station for a $20 fee
each way. Check our web page for details.
