Program Information
Introduction
This summer, we are offering a debate and public speaking summer day camp for students aged 9-16 in Toronto and Montreal!
This camp is suitable for students with different personalities and experience, whether shy or outgoing, beginners or experienced debaters. Students will be grouped based on their age and experience.
It will maintain a low instructor to student ratio (1:8) to ensure that every student has plenty of opportunities to speak and receive ample personalized feedback so they can have the most optimal learning experience.
Through a variety of games, activities, and seminars, the camp will provide a fun, nurturing, and safe learning environment where students can improve their confidence and communication skills, at the same time as enjoying their learning and making new friends!
This camp not only brings great fun, but also helps your child do better at school, become more eloquent and more informed as citizens!
