Hurricane Debate Institute
Public Forum
The Public Forum Camp will prepare students to participate and be successful in competitive debate through a combination of instruction and practice debates. Students will learn how to construct briefs, deliver the most persuasive speeches, and research effectively. More important that instruction, students will have the ability to debate and receive feedback from a number of different people. This will help students as they can work on the skills necessary to become successful debaters.
This Camp is appropriate for students of all ages, but especially rising 9th-12th graders.
