What is the #1 mistake made by new debaters?  

What's the history of debate? 

Why is debate important? 

How do you do it and do it well? 

These are all questions that we will dive into over the course of this camp designed for a small group. Learners will walk away with knowledge and experience in the different types of debate, as well as argument construction and refutation. The first two classes will be focused on learning the fundamentals, and the final two days will be used for actual debates and constructive feedback. Students will both participate in debates and by provide feedback for their fellow learners. We will also incorporate Kahoot and other games to reinforce key information in a fun and interactive way.

This class requires students to actively participate to the best of their abilities and contribute in class debates and discussions.

Is it for you? 

This camp is geared toward learners that have never participated in debate and to those that have dipped their toes in the water in our Beginner and Intermediate Classes and are ready to expand on their skills.

Many of our learners have gone on to join our award-winning debate tournament team. We have also coached many students that have won scholarships and even national titles. But our primary goal is to help encourage the self-confidence needed for any public speaking situation.
