There is still one week left of debate camp in West Hartford, CT. I've posted this a few times over the past month, but if you have any questions, feel free to contact me or Ann Henderson directly. I still can not say enough great things about this camp & the year-long classes. Two students from Mrs. Henderson's middle school class were the winners of the Connecticut Speech & Debate state-wide competition. The competition included both public schools & private schools from across all Connecticut.

Academy has wrapped up its first week of summer debate and Model United Nations
camp. It was a great week, with our biggest group of campers yet! We have had
amazingly inspiring and informative speakers, including an Appellate Court
judge, an Executive Director of an NGO and a State Representative. We also had
Dr. Ndibe, a noted novelist, Nigerian political commentator and professor at
Brown University who has been labeled "an enemy of the Nigerian State" for his
courageous refusal to stop publishing articles critical of the Nigerian
government. Dr. Ndibe has garnered recent acclaim for his article, “Nigeria:
why are we sleeping easy when terrorists have kidnapped our children?,” which
was carried by many major media outlets and proved crucial in bringing the Boko
Haram abductions to international attention. He has since established himself as
one of the leading journalistic authorities on both Boko Haram and the corrupt
ineptitude of the Nigerian Government’s response. These speakers have left our
students with lots of information to discuss and debate. The debaters and Model
UN students have been impressive to see in action!
Our second week of camp is underway but there are still a few spots left for our third and final week of debate camp which is held in West Hartford. It begins June 23rd and consists of Introduction to Parliamentary Debating and Advanced Parliamentary Debating. Both the second and third weeks are appropriate for ages 8 to 18. We break into small groups based on age and ability.
We have amazing collegiate debaters who work with the kids in addition to highly qualified and very successful debate coaches. Our staff to camper ratio is probably the best in the state. Campers receive individualized instruction. We are a fully licensed camp.
If you are interested in enrolling your child for our year-long program in the fall, summer debate camp is the perfect opportunity to get them going on debate so that they can be ready to jump into the ongoing classes in September.

Hope to see you at Debate Camp!
