About This Activity
NOTE: THERE WILL BE NO PROGRAMMING JULY 4th-7th. SUNDAY, JUNE 30th WILL BE AN ONLINE SESSION. This camp is designed for students interested in high school policy debate and is for all levels of experience (policy is the main type of debate for students in MPS, SPPS, North St. Paul/Oakdale/Maplewood, Roseville, Brooklyn Center districts.) A two-on-two debate that focuses on a policy question for the duration of the academic year, this format tests a student’s research, analytical, and delivery skills. The 10-Day Sessions provides a more developed introduction to the national policy debate topic. Participants will engage in a combination of extended topic discussions, skill development-focused speaking exercises, mini-debates, and staff-directed topic research sessions aimed at having students complete full practice rounds by the sixth day of the session. Each student will engage in at least 10 practice debates, participate in the camp tournament, and leave camp with a set of practice files and lecture notes. Students will be placed in learning labs based on previous debate experience (so all levels are welcome from beginner to intermediate and advanced.) Students will make new friends and have fun as they get to know others in the MN debate community. Camp director is Dr. David Cram Helwich, Director of Forensics at the University of Minnesota. Instructors will include members of the UMN Policy Debate Team and teachers and coaches of policy debate. Lunch from the Augsburg cafeteria is included in the tuition cost as well as snacks.
