Richmond Debate
Who are we?
Richmond Debate Institute is focused on fostering Speech & Debate in Richmond. Our online student programs, summer camps, and school packages help students sharpen their critical thinking and succeed in debate.
Richmond Debate
Our Summer Camps
Our online summer academies ignite students' curiosity and push them to question, research, and present arguments. At our camps, students learn the art of critical thinking and public speaking through competitive debate.
Middle School Speech & Debate League
Richmond Debate Institute is working alongside The Richmond Forum and SPEAK RVA to bring Richmond's first Middle School Speech & Debate League, free to all students and completely online. Our league will offer online lessons introducing students to Speech & Debate, and online live practice rounds. Learn more about our online after-school programs.
Our Proud Partners
