Covid-19 Camp Update (2021 March)
In the summer of 2020, the IU Debate team continued our 9 year tradition of hosting a successful low-cost debate camp, digitally, for our student campers. As we head into the summer of 2021 the Hoosier Debate Camp staff and I concluded that there is far too much uncertainty, life changes, and heavy lift workload needed to replicate the previous year's summer camp experience to the level of quality that we expect from our camp.
After experiencing a year of online education, online debate, and all that covid has brought to our doorsteps, our program and staff plan to use the summer to retool, develop and prepare for a quasi-in-person 2021-2022 college debate season.
While we are sad that a 2021 Hoosier Debate Camp will not occur, we are excited for the return of a 2022 in-person camp experience on the beautiful Indiana University Bloomington Campus. Our program is committed to operating as the premier hoosier college debate team that competes nationally while serving our region to expand quality-debate opportunities to those who wish to take part in the activity.
