All of the Novice debaters joined this camp without any debate experience and were unable to produce a 2-minute speech, but by the end of the camp, they were able to speak for at least 4-5 minutes with proper structure and mannerisms.

The experienced class (Summer 2024) had a total of 10+ participants with more challenging and sophisticated content ranging from patents, art, media, a more in-depth review of debate motions, goal setting, social issues such as drug usage, and more. The experienced class aimed to take debaters who have approximately 2+ years of experience to improve their already existing speaking styles and expand their knowledge of more sophisticated topics to make it easier for them to target harder motions during tournaments and debates.
