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. 哈利法克斯辯論營 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.
“我們不知道你是如何讓辯論營成為如此豐富的兒童項目，但你已經掌握了公式。 我們的女兒每天都帶著輪子回到家，她的水桶裝得滿滿噹噹。 她經常向我們講述她的一天——而這並不總是發生在夏令營或放學之後。 她太興奮了，需要讓她的家人參與進來。 她現在教我們如何辯論，並給了她姐姐她為她製作的手鐲。 發自內心：謝謝！”
