During each week camp students will be introduced to Congressional debate, a high school debate format which is the easiest to master. We offer it as an introductory course for students with no prior experience in debate. Students will learn research, persuasive writing and speaking, active listening, and critical thinking. Accurate and extensive note taking and cross examination skills are all integral to the course. Students will also be introduced to various speech events.
