Capitol Debate

Academic Camps, Debate Camps, Public Speaking Schools, Leadership Camps

Capitol Debate hosts summer debate camps and academic camps dedicated to enriching and expanding the social, intellectual, and academic lives of our students. Our collection of classes provide students with the elements of forensic speech and debate, and instruction in public speaking, writing, broadcast journalism, and youth leadership. Every subject is taught by experienced instructors and every subject is learned through practice and implementation.

Our aim is to equip a generation of thinkers, speakers, and leaders. Our aim is to unlock the hidden talents they posses. Our aim is to use instruction, education, and learning to provide the most important component of our debate camps—fun.
