Former Students Say...

“The Michigan 7 Week camp is by far the best debate camp out there. The lab instructors are super experienced, funny, helpful, and challenge you to do your very best. There's never a day that won't eventually translate into another debate win during the official season. Additionally, it provides the opportunity to debate against the same opponents at your skill level during the season and create new friends whilst learning about the topic in incredibly useful lectures that I often look back on to formulate new arguments during the season.”
