=The Emory 6 Week Juniors Institute=

The Emory 6 Week Juniors Institute is a debate workshop designed for students who have completed at least two year of high school policy debate. The institute is designed for those students who desire a challenging summer workshop experience and who wish to engage in competition at an advanced level to prepare them for success for the remainder of their high school debate career. The six week institute will be accepting precisely 24 students for the six weeks insuring that the camp will guarantee a maximum of an 8 to 1 ratio of faculty to students. The six week institute is committed to a smaller faculty to student ratio, will provide an intense research focused approach to the topic. We are committed to providing the best experience for junior debaters in the country. Obviously a shorter camp is committed to excellence as well. However, the amount of instruction, research guidance, and debate skills that can be learned in six weeks will, at a minimum, be twice the quality. If you are vested in becoming a successful high school debater this camp will give you exposure to some of the brightest debate minds in the country. Hays Watson has a history of working with High School Juniors and preparing them for the research rigor of being successful. Aimi Hamriae not only competed at the highest levels but has coached the highest levels of High School debate. Combined with the High School and College level experience of Ana Nikolic, this particular lab offer an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in taking the next step in becoming a champion debater. We want to put together a camp that is focused exclusively on kids who know what debate is but are ready for the next step of research and speaking skills and want to make the jump to being a high level competitive Varsity debater. If your son or daughter is a senior or a rising 10th grader, for example, that has completed two years of debate then they are eligible for the institute. We anticipate a number of students that are of varying ages. We want kids who are on the same level of experience regardless of age. The six week institute will be in a group of 24 equally experienced students. All faculty members will be in attendance for the entirety of the institute. Every student will have the opportunity to interact with all members of the Emory Debate Camp staff on a personal level throughout the camp. The Lab Group serves as a central instructional unit throughout the workshop. Students will work Hays, Aimi, and Ana throughout the 6 week experience. This personal instruction will allow instructors to learn the work habits, strengths, and weaknesses of each of their debaters. In addition to the lab setting, students will also have the opportunity to attend lectures given by faculty and other members of the Emory Debate Coaching Staff.
