We hope to attend for both MUNCH (Model UN Chapel Hill) and DUMUN (Duke Model UN). The cost of attending each conference will be $300-$500--the final price will be dependent on the number of delegates and favorable lodging.
MUNCH: Friday, February 24-Sunday, February 26, 2023. We will leave school early Friday morning and return home early afternoon Sunday.
DUMUN: Friday, March 30-Saturday, April 1. We will leave school early Friday morning and return home Saturday evening.
In addition to the conference itself, delegations will be required to attend two mandatory prep meetings in advance of each conference.

Hit the 22-23 MUN Season Running!
21 Mar 2022
We have had great feedback from CLS MUN-ers on their experiences with Best Delegate virtual conferences. This summer, they will also offer in-person conferences as well--the Washington DC camps are posted below--but they also offer camps in Boston and LA. I hope you will consider participating. If you need guidance on which level would be best for you, please speak with Mr. Ivey or Ms. Siczek. Attending a Best Delegate camp makes you immediately eligible for travel conferences.
