The camp will be located at the Cohen-Bissell dorms. Click here to navigate to this address using Google Maps.
Students should bring a variety of clothing, including pants and a jacket – summer temperatures can vary widely. Students should bring a towel and appropriate toiletries. Students will need twin extra long sheets, a blanket, and a pillow for their rooms. They should also expect to use a notebook, pens, and paper. These supplies will be available for purchase if students do not wish to bring them. Fans and refrigerators will be available for rental. Students should bring a laptop capable of running the full version of Microsoft Word and a flash drive (for more information on our computer recommendations, read the "Requirements" section on this page). Students may also wish to bring a power strip.
A short 4 block walk from the dorms, the local Hanover CVS carries the needs of most students. For the most common office supply needs, the DDI has a small store in the student dorm to provide pens, paper, notebooks, jump drives, ethernet cords, and more at prices cheaper than found in Hanover. The Dartmouth bookstore also carries most office supplies or other student needs.

Yes. Modern debate runs on a series of programs and extensions for Microsoft Word, so you must have a laptop capable of running the full version of Microsoft Word. If this is an issue for you, please let us know.
