We don’t want to just raise good kids, we want to raise successful adults, too! One of the greatest skills anyone can learn is to communicate effectively. This can improve the dynamic of your family life and prepare your kids to be terrific adults. Campamento de debate Halifax offers welcoming, fun, and intellectually engaging summer day camps for kids to grow their debate skills.
Debate Camp is not just for the experienced debater but for kids of all abilities and comfort levels. During the week, campers will grow lifelong skills such as information research, organizing ideas, communicating articulately, and working cooperatively on a team. Through daily debating, public speaking, and Model UN activities, you’ll notice your kids gain the confidence to propel them into a new school year and beyond. This year, Debate Camp Halifax will host on-campus learning at Armbrae Academy and King’s Edgehill, and there will also be opportunities for overnight stays.
With a teacher-to-student ratio of 1:8, kids are divided into small groups by age and experience. Debates happen in partnerships with a focus on teamwork. Teams will prepare and engage in a parliamentary-style debate, with age-appropriate topics. For example, students from grades 5 -6 might debate ‘school should only be 4 days a week’, while advanced debaters might argue for (or against) ‘the production of biofuels causes food insecurity’.

Listen to what a parent has to say about Debate Camp.
“No sabemos cómo hizo que el campo de debate fuera un programa tan enriquecedor para los niños, pero tiene la fórmula al pie de la letra. Nuestra hija llegaba a casa todos los días con las ruedas totalmente infladas y el balde lleno hasta el borde. Regularmente nos contaba todo sobre su día, y eso no siempre sucede después del campamento o la escuela. Estaba tan emocionada y necesitaba traer a su familia al redil. Ahora nos ha enseñado a debatir y le regaló a su hermana el brazalete que le hizo. De corazón: ¡gracias!”
