SUMMER CAMPS
Debate Camp

A Camp for Young Speakers, Thinkers, and Persuaders entering grades 6-8.

Find your voice, make your case, and learn how to think on your feet! In this interactive camp, campers explore the art of persuasion while developing the skills to communicate their ideas clearly and confidently.

Working in rotating teams, campers will tackle engaging topics while learning how to build strong arguments, use evidence and examples, respond with effective rebuttals, defend their position, and summarize their ideas. Through friendly debates, group activities, and speaking challenges, they’ll practice listening to different perspectives and responding thoughtfully in the moment.

Along the way, campers will strengthen critical thinking, communication, teamwork, and public-speaking skills while gaining the confidence to express their ideas in front of others. Whether they already love a good debate or want to become more comfortable speaking up, this camp provides a supportive and engaging place to find their voice.

This program is run by SPARK Business Academy and is a full-day program. Please Note: Full-Day Exploration Camps do not include scheduled pool time due to the structure and schedule of our vendor partners’ programming.
