Cornell International Summer Debate Camp

Students can join together for nine days of intense debate and learning at Cornell University. Campers are taught debate fundamentals by expert instructors, including Cornell faculty and other debate coaches. Attendees learn up on existing debate topics utilizing the World Schools Debate format.

At the camp's conclusion, students participate in the Cornell Debate Camp Tournament, allowing them the chance to put their knowledge into action. Students can expect everything from small group learning, debate sessions with other groups, live lectures, and assignments to help improve their skills.

The program runs from the end of July to August and accepts middle and high school students. You can get a reduced rate if you're a local resident and want to sign up your child as a day camper. Overnight campers can make use of the college facilities and dorms while there.
