Capitol Debate Summer Camps teach the fundamentals of public speaking and argumentation, enabling kids to develop core presentation and debating skills that boost confidence and self-esteem.

Our debate camps teach students to structure arguments, prepare debate cases, research evidence, write rebuttal briefs, deliver speeches and refute opponent arguments.

Capitol Debate's goal is to enrich the social, intellectual, and academic lives of our students through the art of communication. Since 2006, our academic camps have grown to serve thousands of students and are now hosted across the United States on over 15 campuses.

Our programs draw students from around the world, and our locations provide the resources to make every student’s time at camp impactful and rewarding.

Although Capitol has become a global leader in academic summer camps our core value remains at the heart of all our programs and activities. Capitol Debate is dedicated to our mission to help the youth find their voice!
