Deliverable: At the end of the camp, students will participate in a in class showcase where they will receive feedback and a certificate of completion to illustrate their learning.
Prerequisite: None
Recommended Next Steps: Additional Rising Debater camps, Art of Public Speaking class, or Introductory Debate class.
