About This Activity
This camp is designed for students interested in high school policy debate and is for all levels of experience. 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. Students will prepare for the 26-27 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 very quickly. 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. Scheduling Notes: There will be half-day programming on Saturday the 27th and Sunday the 28th (1:00-5:00pm). Students will check into the dorms on the afternoon of June 21st, and will check out on the afternoon of July 2nd Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks are included in the residential experience.
