This summer, come to Cornell’s Ithaca campus for a live camp with us! High school students will learn new debating techniques during this camp and have the chance to put them to use in adjudicated tournament debates as well as intra-camp practice sessions. One of the distinctive aspects of this camp is the presence of Cornell faculty as camp lecturers. We also have renowned debate coaches from top high school and college programs, as well as outstanding college debaters. Students will learn cutting-edge intellectual perspectives on current political issues. The World Schools Debate (WSD) format will be used in our debate technique lesson, but we’ll also cover a wide range of topics that apply to all debate styles. Students will take part in Cornell’s Debate after the camp.

Please take note that the arrival date for residential campers is July 29 and the departure date is August 6. Only on July 30 will camp instruction and debates start, and they won’t end until August 5. If you’re coming to the camp as a residential camper, you should schedule your arrival for July 29 (not earlier) and your departure for August 6 (not later). If you’re a commuter (local) camper, you should schedule your attendance for July 30-August 5.

Camp Dates: July 29, 2023 (Saturday) – August 6, 2023 (Sunday)
