New 2012 MDAW Website!!
Just wanted to let everyone know that the MDAW’s website is now being hosted by Augsburg. Go here for information on registering, scholarships, faculty, and everything else you might need. This website will probably not be updated for the duration of the 2012 camp season, so make sure to look at the 2012 website. We’re excited to see everyone at camp this summer!

MDAW Flier!
Hi Everyone,
Below is a flier for the 2010 MDAW. I hope you will consider encouraging your students to attend. We pride ourselves on being an affordable, skill building camp – with lots of individual attention. We also offer need-based scholarships – these are not limited to UDL partner schools – they are open to all based on need. I will also be contacting individual coaches – if you are around this summer, it would be wonderful if you could stop in for a guest lecture or judge a practice debate; we would love to have you be a part of our camp experience.
Finally, we hope to repeat our success with our panel of experts “Debate in the Real World” – we will be reaching out to practitioners, policy makers, and academic researchers to give a personal view on the topic. All are welcome to attend this session, and we will have further details this spring. Happy Holidays! Amy
National level experience & quality, at a Minnesota price you can afford!
