EXPERIENCED PROGRAMS
INTERMEDIATE-COMPETITIVE
Instructors: TBD
Description: Students will walk away with either one or more speech events ready for competition and/or debate ready arguments for one of the two possible topics that will be used for competition during the first two months of the school year. Students would be ready to compete in either the JV or Varsity level of competition if the work required is properly completed. Camps in debate will be lecture based with various activities and skill exercises introduced and practiced through the course of the camp. There will be a major emphasis on practice debates throughout the last week of camp including a mock practice tournament at the end of the camp. Returning students should consult their coaches and/or their last semester recommendation if unsure of your level for the summer . Students who are not a part of our organization should expect to turn in material including competition resume and judge feedback for review. NOTE: If you plan to join us during the school year, simply taking this camp does not place you in our intermediate classes, as with our semester, there will be basic requirements and observations we will make to write up a final placement recommendation as well as general commentary and feedback for parents and students to review at the end of camp. Events Offered: EXT, OI, HI, DI, DUO*, LD, PF Pre-Requisites: ☻This camp is designed for students who do not qualify for advanced. They know their format but have not competed enough and still need more guided structure. They should understand the basics concepts/skills of their event. If they need help with basic skills, it's recommended they join beginner classes in the evenings. ☻Students who have limited tournament experience, don’t plan on competing extensively (more than 2 tournaments per semester and not in the varsity level of competition). |
ADVANCED-COMPETITIVE
Instructors: TBD
Description: Students in our advanced sessions for speech and debate will walk away ready to compete at the highest level of competitions. Students will have one or more speech events ready for competitions by the end of their session(s) with us and in debate, students will have arguments and a basic understanding of the topic and what to expect at tournaments during the first two months of the semester. Students will be introduced to new ideas or concepts that students at their level should know about including any new ideas introduced in the prior year of competition. Debate camp will be heavy on lecture, research along with skillset exercises/activities and almost a full week of practice rounds with our staff. Students must be accepted into this session, upon coaches’ review of past experience (for current GSA students, this includes reviewing your last semester progress report). If not accepted, students will be recommended to register for the beginning or intermediate competition session. NOTE: If you plan to join us during the school year, simply taking this camp does not place you in our intermediate classes, as with our semester, there will be basic requirements and observations we will make to write up a final placement recommendation as well as general commentary and feedback for parents and students to review at the end of camp. Events Offered: HI, DI, DUO*, Platform, POI, EXT, LD, PF Pre-Requisites: ☻Minimum 1 year or 2 semesters of competitive experience in speech--either from their respective schools, GSA, or other programs. ☻Attended a minimum of 3 tournaments. One should be a post-season tournament (State or National Championships) though we can make exceptions depending on experience and total tournament participation. ☻Students must submit a resume of past competitive successes and programs participated in. |
