Debate Camp
Parliamentary debate and public-speaking day camps for students in Chicago, Boston and Manhattan, with 2027 programs listed.
About Debate Camp
Campers work with partners on arguments, rebuttals and spoken delivery, with instruction organized by experience level. Impromptu speaking exercises and practice rounds form part of the program. Model United Nations is also offered, with a dedicated stream listed for selected weeks.
Compare the individual city pages for dates, tuition and venue details. The New York venue and one additional week remain tentative. Regional overnight camps in other states are separate programs and are not presented as local day camps.
