Independence, growth & leadership

Parent review — confidence and college life experience

"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." — Neha

Parent review — confidence and inclusive environment

"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!" — Dana

Safety and staff supervision at the MUN Institute

Safety is our top priority. We maintain a 1:12 staff-to-student ratio, and all mentors are background-checked, extensively trained, and USA-based adults. Students ages 14 and older have the option with prior parent approval to go off campus in groups of 3 or more students.
