Frequently Asked Questions

 

Schedule

You can see a sample 2-week schedule here: schedule. You will receive a finalized schedule at registration, but the camp generally runs from 9AM to 9PM. Students needing to miss any part of the camp should fill out a parent permission slip and be sure to inform the lab leaders and assistant director of the camp as to their specific schedule.

 

What should I bring to SDI?

Students staying in the dormitory will need to bring sheets/pillows and all required linens. There are laundry facilities in the dormitory, but you will need to bring money for their use.

All students should bring pens, paper, scissors, tape, file folders and any other debate utensils that you normally use such as highlighters or markers. You can bring a computer, but it is certainly not required, and there will be computer resources provided.

Any sporting equipment is optional. There are facilities, but their use will be dependent upon supervision availability and the schedule of the camp.

What is the emergency contact number during the camp?

The emergency contact numbers will be handed out at registration. If you need to contact anyone en route to the camp or the morning before registration, please call 417-894-0069 (Matt Vega).

Who supervises in the residence hall?

UMKC SDI hires adult staff members to supervise the residence hall. Along with the UMKC Residence Hall staff, we will ensure safety and supervision while at SDI.

Can students have visitors at the camp?

We ask that parents/guardians authorize any visitors as they would anytime that a student might leave the camp. Please fill out the permission to leave form and bring it to registration.
