PUBLIC SPEAKING AND DEBATE:
SKILLS for HIGHER LEARNING and LIFE!
 
Debate Camp provides one week summer camp programs in Public Speaking, Debating and Model United Nations for students eager for new ideas and a boost in their skills, confidence, and ability with the spoken word!   
Since 2002 we have helped thousands of young people become better advocates for their ideas, develop strong persuasion and public speaking skills and ultimately feel empowered to speak well to a variety of audiences.
