"The Middle School MUN program was very fun and educational. Our son learned a lot and improved his confidence. His research and public speaking skills improved tremendously. The topics were interesting and the students were passionate during their presentations. We would highly recommend the MUN camp to others."

"This week for my daughter was epic. Not only did she learn policies and practices, but she also had the opportunity to be exposed to so much diversity, equity, equality, and inclusion! Michelle had a blast; the teachers constantly made learning fun. She can't wait to come back next year."
- Franceska
"The camp was very well run, especially for model UN newbies. They really explained everything well to the kids and encouraged them to participate. My daughter really enjoyed it and felt much more confident about her ability to be at a model UN conference. The kids also get to eat in the college cafeteria so they get a taste of what college life could be like."

"My son gained so much confidence from a Best Delegate’s inclusive, fun, and friendly environment. I loved how the program met each student at their unique level, with opportunities to research, take risks, and cultivate relationships through collaboration and creativity during the week-long program. Thanks to the talented young mentors’ wonderful example of positive engagement and professionalism, the atmosphere was filled with a joyful and intellectual atmosphere! I enjoyed see him make new friends while finding his voice and passion! He left with hope to come back next year and participate again! Thank you so much, Abby, Jason, JJ and Logan for your thoughtful leadership and inspiration!"
