What’s Instinct’s refund policy?

Due to the nature of the Instinct Debate Institute and the need to sign and make binding agreements with instructors, venues, insurance agents, and other parties well in advance of the camp the Instinct Debate Institute cannot offer refunds under any circumstances for enrollment after payment is made.

Does Instinct offer Financial aid?

Instinct is proud to offer financial Aid via our Financial Aid Application. Instinct understands that in many cases cost is a barrier to participation and competitive success, therefore, our maximum aid offer is equivalent to 100% of tuition.

Do I need to purchase a meal plan?

No, but it is highly recommended to enhance your student’s experience Instinct will not be responsible for providing lunch and dinner meals to campers who do not opt-in for this add-on. However, Instructional fellows are available to chaperone campers to any of the other food venues located on campus for their lunch and dinner meals. As a gift to all students of the institute, Instinct has worked with our partners at the 8th St Campus Kitchen at Florida International University (FIU) to provide free breakfast for all of our campers.

How can I pay?

Instinct’s preferred methods of payment are online via our website but if a payment plan is needed fill out a contact form and the Instinct Debate Institute will be happy to furnish you with an invoice and terms for a dispersed pay structure.

Camper safety?

Finally, room checks are enforced nightly to ensure that campers are safe and sound.
