6+Week+Seniors

=The Emory 6 Week SEniors Institute=

The Emory 6 Week Juniors Institute is a debate workshop designed for students who are entering their final year of High School Debate. The institute is designed for those students who desire a challenging summer workshop experience and who wish to engage in competition at the highestlevel to prepare them for success for the remainder of their high school debate career and hopefully into college. 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 senior 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. Casey Harrigan has already established himself as one of the hardest working and most successful debate coaches in the country. As the Director of Debate at the University of Georgia and previously at Wake Forest University Casey has demonstrated the highest level of success. Dylan Keenan is widely recognized as one of the strongest researchers and teachers of research in the country. His commitment to research skills makes him an ideal candidate for a debate instructor in a world where rounds are won and lost based almost entirely on a debater’s ability to produce his or her own evidence. Stephen Weil is one of the most successful debaters of all time. Having earned more Tournament of Champions bids than anyone in history, having qualified to the National Debate Tournament as a top 6 team every year so far, and the winner of the Top Speaker Award at almost every national debate tournament he is one of debate’s best and brightest. In other words, the 6 week seniors lab offers a rare opportunity to work in a small setting with what we believe to be an incredibly strong set of debate minds. We want to put together a camp that is focused exclusively on kids who 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 rising senior ready to make that next jump, then this is the lab for them. We want kids who are on the same level of experience and are ready to get better at debate. 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 Casey, Dylan, and Stephen 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.
