Students ages 11–15 are invited to join us for a week of exciting diplomacy—no experience necessary!

Campers will be immersed in dynamic, interactive, and fun activities that build persuasive communication, negotiation, critical thinking, collaboration, and leadership. Students will represent countries in lively simulations of national and international diplomacy where they will debate real-world issues, work in teams, and negotiate solutions.

What students gain

By the end of the week, students will be able to:

• Speak with confidence in small and large groups
• Express ideas clearly and persuasively (with stronger voice, structure, and presence)
• Negotiate and collaborate respectfully—even when opinions differ
• Lead discussions and contribute thoughtfully in team settings
• Build real-world social skills: listening, responding, and connecting with peers

Students work in small and large groups that are age- and skill-appropriate. With our low instructor-to-student ratio (1:6), each camper receives meaningful individual coaching and encouragement.

Our instructors don’t just teach speaking—they coach the full skill set: persuasive communication, negotiation, collaboration, leadership presence, and real-world social skills. With years of Model UN and debate experience and a track record of top awards at premier conferences, they know how to help students perform under pressure. Students also enjoy fun social interactions with peers and instructors in a welcoming, upbeat environment.

Friday Final Showcase: UN General Assembly Simulation

To culminate the week, students participate in a United Nations General Assembly Conference simulation in which they engage in authentic diplomacy—representing countries to debate, negotiate, and collaborate on resolutions addressing real-world global challenges such as:

• Conflict resolution and peacebuilding
• Poverty and economic development
• Global health and access to healthcare
• Climate change and environmental sustainability
• Refugees, migration, and humanitarian crises
• Human rights and access to education

Our goal is for every student to learn the fundamentals of diplomacy while building confidence, social ease, and leadership skills—and to leave camp feeling more prepared to speak up, connect with others, and lead.
