July 18–29
Upper School Parliamentary and Public Forum Debate Camps
Sam Timinsky & Les Philips
What does our program offer?
Our Upper School Parliamentary Debate Camp is designed for high school students (rising ninth through twelfth grade) who are interested in competitive parliamentary debate. We welcome beginners — we delight in introducing debate to new students, and we give them our very best attention. We also welcome strong, experienced students who are ready to extend themselves and move to the next level, guided by our deeply experienced coaching staff.
We’ll provide rigorous training in debate research, the use of philosophical arguments in debate, debate theory, case writing, strategic thinking, and speaking tailored to both professional and lay judges. Newer debaters will spend more time developing foundational skills. This track involves a series of workshops, lectures, and practice sessions to drill specific skills, such as locating evidence and ad-libbing refutation. More advanced debaters will spend more time in sophisticated reading groups, writing sessions, and mini-debates. They will also take part in mini-topic lectures and practice debates that emphasize strategy development.
Ideally, students will attend for the full two weeks. However, the course is divided into two week-long blocks (five days of instruction), and students are welcome to sign up for either or both weeks.
The schedule for Upper School Expedition this summer will be Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
If you have questions, please email our team at summer@nuevaschool.org.
