This program will feature lectures from some of the best college debaters and coaches in college parliamentary debate. You’ll see lectures on a wide variety of current events and debate ideas. There will be novice/intermediate/advanced labs to ensure each student can have a curriculum that is tailored to their experience. Do not worry if you have never heard of debate before, we have a lab for that. On the other hand, if you are looking for the finishing touches on an illustrious high school career and a path to college debate, we have a lab for that too. Almost every year a camper from this program goes on to debate in college, often times right here at Oregon the next season.
