Thanks for joining us this summer! Please return to see the dates of our 2022 programs which we anticipate to be available by late 2021.
1-Week Middle School Debate Basics
The Stanford National Forensic Institute is again offering a program for middle school debaters. This camp will focus both on the style of debate at middle schools in the Bay Area, and the transition to high school debate events. This camp is designed to teach the fundamentals of debating. We will focus more on individual workshops than on broad topic lectures and skills seminars, and will debate practice topics that are more accessible to the typical middle school student in order to increase the educational value of the program. Students will compete in debates in the parliamentary format in the latter stages of the camp.
Note: we do not accept international students for any of our middle school sessions.
