Debate Camp

For public speaking, campers are exposed to three basic styles:

 

• Impromptu Speaking

• After Dinner Speaking

• Persuasive Speaking

• Informative Speaking

 

Campers are trained in how to speak with clarity, conviction, confidence and with a sense of organization on a prepared and unprepared basis.

 

Campers also participate in skills-specific workshops on:

 

• effective ways to brainstorm a topic

• how to build audience interest and attention

• how to organize subtopics and transitions

• constructing useful notes

• effective practice techniques

• delivery strategies

  • pace and movement

  • timing

  • use of humour

  • purposeful eye contact
