WHAT TO EXPECT FROM UNLOCKING EXCELLENCE
If you have the basics of debate down, it’s time to engage with the full potential of what debate has to offer. It is critical that debate students understand that issues, for the most part, have more than one side to them. This camp helps unlock the secrets of debate and focuses on improving character in students while they struggle with some of life’s most important issues.
We’ll focus on the upcoming NCFCA Lincoln-Douglas and Team Policy resolutions, but the skills learned in this camp go far beyond the competition room. Students will learn how to take challenging and difficult concepts and break them down into an understandable fashion. If you want your student to be a skilled debater and a deep thinker, Unlocking Excellence is for your family!
As with all our camps, parent participation is not required at Unlocking Excellence but it is strongly encouraged. Parents, your presence and engagement in each session will help you and your student gain mutual knowledge and understanding. Taking the time to be at camp will better equip you to see the big picture of how debate fits into your student’s education and the important role you play. There is no fee for parent participation.
