Parents in the Greater Boston area can enroll kids in these educational debate summer camps. Their local 4 day and 5 day camps are hosted between 8:30 am to 4:00 pm and serve the towns of West Roxbury, Longwood and Danvers and their 1 week overnight camp in Brunswick Maine has an accompanied Amtrak option from Boston's North Station.
You don't need to have any debate experience to enroll and rising students to 5th and 10th grade can sign up. The 8 to 1 student to teacher ratio ensures all students are kept tabs on and that they keep learning correctly.
A day at camp includes debate rounds, workshops, expert instruction, outdoor activities, and breaks so students don't get overloaded and can have some fun. Their programs occur at different schools in the area, so visit their website for specific location information.
They have a philosophy of providing a welcoming environment for all students while challenging them intellectually and teaching them more than just debate skills. Here, kids can learn to be seen and heard and how to communicate effectively with others.
