Our summer camp is our best-selling product each year. It is taught by our most experienced instructors, who are typically college debaters and college graduates.
At Atlas Debate Camp, students learn how to create arguments through research and logic, refute them, and cross examine their opponents. Students learn to analyze news and reports on a unique policy topic, each student will participate in more than 10 debates over 2 weeks.
All programs are guaranteed a 8:1 student teacher ratio, so that teachers can engage all students, even if they are shy or inexperienced with debate. We teach students of all ages and all experiences, we focus on students with 1 year or less of experience.
