Summer camp on the cheap

Members of the VCA will recall that a couple of years ago, in response to some plaintive cry in the desert or other from the NDCA, we here in New York started up the free one-day MHL workshop. We are big fans of free, and almost as big fans of cheap. Along those lines, I just received the following missive from Ryan Miller. If you're in that neck of the woods, and you've got a little time on your hands and would like to sneak some debate into your summer, and feel that Mr. Taylor needs all the pizza he can get, you might want to talk to Ryan and his team.

With the assistance of Zach Taylor and Dallastown coach Steph Borger, I’ll be running an LD camp in York County PA this summer from Tuesday 5 July through Monday 11 July. Intermediate-level students will learn skills necessary to succeed on the local and national circuits. Depending on the level of interest, we may split into ability-based labs; more advanced students can also come with cases written on Thursday the 7th. Cost is only $20 payable to Zach’s college pizza fund; housing with Dallastown students may be available by prior arrangement. Please pass this along to anyone who may be interested; I can be contacted at 717-968-1585 or rmm4pi8@gmail.com


We will likely be offering a quick two day Sept-Oct prep / advanced camp in August, date TBD. Also, Dallastown alums who have cleared at both HS and college national tournaments will be running an Extemp camp July 8-10 if you know any extempers who would be interested.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Pizza

In all seriousness, Ryan Miller really knows his stuff*, and Dallastown is a cool place to be. Don't be fooled by the price: You're guaranteed more individual attention than any large camp, with the same kind of instruction. Plus, I get hungry a lot.

*He seems to understand just about every philosophical position on the planet, and knows more about the nuances of debate theory than anyone I've ever met. No wonder he's on a first name basis with Christine Korsgaard.
