The time has finally come: the return of Model United Nations Institute Summer Camps in Washington DC, Boston, and Los Angeles! We are so excited to get back in action this summer virtually and in person. That’s right for the first time ever Best Delegate Model United Nations is offering both virtual camps and in person camps.
We have had the privilege over the last 2 years of working with 2000+ students and families through our Virtual MUN Institute and over the last decade we have worked with over 4000 more students and families in person at the MUN Institute. The past two years have been challenging and full of change but our students have motivated and inspired us to adapt so we can keep doing what we love: getting people together to experience Model UN, gain life-changing skills in public speaking and debate, and make friendships that will last a lifetime.
We have programs for students ages 9-18. Students will get to explore topics such as: Equal Rights for LGBTQ+ Community, Eliminating Racial Discrimination, UN Security Council The Situation in Afghanistan, US Cyber Security, and Universal Access to Quality Education.
Our Programs have advancing program levels to build your skills:
In honor of the return of the MUN Institute Summer Camps, we’re excited to provide a sneak peek into what our community can expect from the historic return of the in person and virtual programs families have trusted and kids have loved for the last decade.
Virtual MUN Institute Camps
Now for the virtual fun! Students who choose to do a virtual summer camp can build their own summer of MUN fun and learning. You will have more schedule flexibility and with camp starting at just $499 you have the option to register for multiple weeks of camp to advance your skills and explore different topics. Virtual camps are the perfect opportunity to gain confidence in public speaking from the comfort of your own home. Each camp has 15 hours of live weekly programs that take place Monday – Friday from 1-4 pm EST.
“My favorite part is meeting new people and being able to engage with them in conversations about diplomacy. It’s nice to have a place where you can talk to like-minded individuals and learn with them.”
Students can expect to make new friends from around the world. There are no special requirements for our virtual camps! Students fluent in English can join the program from the comfort of their own homes from anywhere in the world.
