American Visa for Cameroon?

Question

I'm an american student and I'll be traveling to Cameroon this summer. I'm having some difficulty figuring out how to get a visa. The Cameroon embassy website is mostly non-functioning and I've found contradictory answers and lots of suspicious websites everywhere I look. What do I need to send to the D.C. embassy aside from a copy of the visa application? Thanks!
