Debate Camp
St. Luke’s Debate Camp focuses on preparing students for participation and competition in speech and debate. Our Beginner Camp is open to anyone interested in learning or practicing the fundamentals of debate, while our Experienced Camp is designed for students wishing to build upon prior debate experience ahead of the 2022-23 tournament season.
Led by Meredith MacLeod, St. Luke’s Head Debate Coach, instruction and coaching will focus in particular upon CX Cross Examination Debate, with sessions across the week devoted to case building and strategy, rebuttals and judging paradigms, and practice debate rounds, culminating with a tournament on Friday.
The program is open to students entering grades 9-12, with students being grouped into cohorts according to their tournament experience and age.
