Intro to Debate camps

Students in our Intro to Debate camps participate in fun and engaging activities designed to help them develop the key concepts and skills required to succeed in debate. Once they’re comfortable with the basics, students debate fun topics with their peers, such as whether school uniforms should be required and whether dogs are better than cats. Beyond meetings, some light homework (estimated to be less than 1 hour per day) is assigned to help reinforce what’s been learned.

  • No experience necessary. 
  • Limited in size to 8 students per coach.
  • Recommended for ages 10-15; capable younger students will be considered on a case-by-case basis (please contact us for more information).

Advanced debate camps

Students in our advanced debate camps explore key concepts in debate theory and strategy through a series of discussions, activities, in-meeting debates, and homework to prepare for debates and reinforce concepts. Beyond meetings, moderate homework (estimated to be about 2-3 hours per day) is assigned to help reinforce what’s been learned. 
 
  • Prerequisite: Any Intro to Debate camp and/or previous experience with a debate program or team. 
  • Limited in size to 8 students per coach.
  • Recommended for ages 13-17; capable younger students will be considered on a case-by-case basis (please contact us for more information).
