Summer Debate Camp  

We are excited to announce our 5th annual summer camp!

 

Our week-long camp ignites student curiosity and motivates public speaking. Students will learn competitive debate and participate in debate tournaments. Our hand picked instructors and organized lesson plans take students through the fundamental and technical skills necessary to onboard any student on to speech and debate. 

​

Join us this summer to articulate proper arguments, conduct quality research, and join the debate!
