   I had an amazing experience at VBI.

   I think we all succeeded in fulfilling Anjan’s mission.

   Ryan Van Diehl FTW!

   Thank you to the entire staff of sess.2. This was my first and last VBI camp expereicne and I am extremely glad I did it. I met lots of cool people from across the nation, ate SO much food (15 pounds of it, apparently), and succeeded in THE MISSION. Thanks especially to Anjan, Wes, and Babb, as well as Jon and Mike for an amazing 2 weeks. Good luck everyone…see you around!

    I never thought that using my last two weeks of summer to go to VBI would be so worthwhile, I not only learned how to be a better debater but how to be a better person, I can’t wait to sign up next year and return to another wonderful year of debate at VBI.

    Thanks to everyone who made this camp as amazing as it was! I’m so sad I had to leave early but the week and a half I was there was quite the experience. Jon and Mira, you guys were awesome :) and thank you Mike for giving me such a great oppertunity! I can’t wait to start the season and show everyone how great VBI camp debaters are. Hopefully I’ll see all of you around this year (my first tournament is Greenhill). Good luck!

    I learned more in the two weeks of VBI than I did during the two years of LD preceding it, and this is not an exaggeration. VBI has brought together lots of ridiculously smart people, both the staff and the students, and debating them and learning from them was an amazing experience.
