Emory University High School Debate Camps

Emory University High School Debate Camps Overview

At the Emory University High School Debate Camp, students work closely with the school's debate coaches and competitive college debaters to develop their skills. Participants can choose between one or two-week sessions that help prepare them for their upcoming school year. Depending on the camper's goals, they can attend one of the two exciting sessions.

Their 1-Week Fundaments of Debate, Deliberation, and Dialogue program is perfect for those seeking to engage in lively debate while learning practices that can guide them through a multitude of topics. Here children experience in-depth learning in different debate topics, critical thinking activities, and how to form arguments based on their topic. No previous experience is needed, and it's a great place for kids to connect with others.

Their 2-Week Policy Debate Institute camp is for those with one to two years of policy debate experience, both in middle and high school. It teaches skills like note-taking, tournament preparation, speech organization and delivery, and rules. It's suited for students looking to participate in competitive policy debates during the school year.
