Speech & Debate

This 5-day immersive camp introduces middle schoolers to public speaking and competitive forensics through hands-on practice. Campers will learn to craft compelling arguments and master the art of persuasion. As they advance, students will research complex topics, construct logical rebuttals, and deliver polished speeches with confidence.

Throughout the week, campers will tackle various speaking challenges to improve their verbal and non-verbal communication. They will explore competitive formats like Impromptu Speaking and Public Forum debate, focusing on evidence analysis and logical reasoning.

From cross-examinations to powerful closing statements, this camp offers an engaging introduction to communication arts. Students will develop essential skills in critical thinking and research in a supportive environment. Whether beginners or experienced, this camp is designed to ignite a passion for advocacy and ensure an exciting learning experience.

This course is thoughtfully designed by CompuChild’s expert team, which includes educators with PhD and EdD degrees and experience as children’s librarians. CompuChild is proud to be one of only two national children’s education franchises that are STEM Certified by Cognia.
