UCO Camp Option

The University of Central Oklahoma is offering a policy debate camp this year. Click here for more information. It is really affordable, but the main problem is that it conflicts with our team pre-season camp. I would consider allowing novices to attend this camp, if you are not already attending another camp. Let me know if you are interested.
