Do you find yourself losing every argument? Do you find yourself wanting to say something, but not knowing how to say it? Well, you are in luck! This camp will teach campers the fundamentals of public speaking, debate, and critical thinking. Over the course of a week, various case studies and fun activities will help you develop your own personal debate style and win more debates.
This camp takes a hands-on learning approach with a heavy emphasis on small group workshops to help campers feel more welcome. We strive to make our camp a fun, low-stakes environment where our campers can feel comfortable being active participants. Following each lesson, we have designed fun and engaging activities to help campers practice their newly learned skills.
