Debate Camp Returns to KES This Summer!

Debate Camp provides an engaging, skills-enrichment summer opportunity for students in Grades 5 through 10. In 2025 we are excited to once again bring Debate Camp to KES this summer – with both day and overnight camps.  We offer a well-loved program in public speaking, parliamentary debate, Model United Nations and general confidence-building for the aspiring young speaker! Debate Camp is open to all ability levels and programs are challenge-levelled – with instruction available for novice to competitive speakers. Campers work in small groups to develop their ideas and speak in partnership as part of two-and-four-person teams representing their side of the debate resolution (parliamentary-style). Young speakers at all levels are generally amazed at their growth and development over the week. All instruction and supervision ratios are set at 1:8.

Our daily schedule also includes organized games, impromptu speaking, drama and interactive activities to ensure camp retains a fun and balanced approach to learning. Model United Nations simulations and mini-tournaments complete the week. The feedback we encounter is often on the theme of genuine surprise at just how enjoyable an academic enrichment and skills development program can be.

Join us in 2025!  Full details and dates available on our website:
