Camp Sessions
The Debate Intensive Five-Week Intensive – Five weeks of intensive debate instruction. This program combines our comprehensive, three-week core curriculum with two additional weeks at the second camp session. Recommended for the most competitive students and those who wish to move from intermediate to advanced competition within the course of the summer.
The Debate Intensive Core Session – The Core Session is our largest and most popular program. It offers a thorough, comprehensive curriculum for Lincoln-Douglas debaters of all levels. We recommend attending this program if you are only available to attend one session of camp.
The Debate Intensive Second Session – A two-week condensed version of our Core Lincoln-Douglas debate curriculum. This smaller program offers a cozy camp environment and is ideal for LD debaters of all levels who are unable to attend the Core Session.
The Second session will also feature a policy lab designed for beginner and intermediate students. Students who plan to compete in policy debate during the 2023-2024 school year should register for the Second camp session.
The Debate Intensive September-October Topic Week – A one-week program for those wishing to get a head start on the September-October topic. Previous experience required.
