Applications to the 2021 Summer Debate Camp are now open!
Why Debate
Debate teaches students vital skills like critical thinking, persuasive speaking, and efficient researching. Colleges have been very clear: debate is one of the best things a student can do to get a leg-up in the admissions process. In fact, many colleges go so far as to offer generous scholarships to former debaters. In a time where communication and public speaking are more important than ever for employers and for future success, debate is a perfect training ground for students.
Students new to debate are our most valued and important students. We have a variety of options for them to begin their debate journey and learn concrete skills.
