It’s summer camp season at the Minnesota Urban Debate League, a program of Augsburg University, and we’re looking for volunteers!
Join us in-person at the Foss Lobeck Miles Center on Augsburg University’s campus to help young speakers build their skills and confidence in a friendly, low-stakes setting.
Our Summer Camp judging options include:
MIDDLE SCHOOL POLICY DEBATE:
Our middle schoolers are debating Mars Colonization at camp! We’re looking for volunteers to judge MS policy debaters on Friday, June 14 from 9 AM – 2 PM and Saturday, June 22 from 9 AM – 1 PM (lunch is provided). No previous experience is required!
MIDDLE SCHOOL CONGRESSIONAL DEBATE CAMP:
At Middle School Congress Camp, our students will be learning skills like writing bills, building consensus, and advocating effectively. Camp will culminate in a mock Congress session on Friday, June 14 from 9:30 AM – 1:30 PM. No experience needed- lunch provided!
HIGH SCHOOL SPEECH CAMP:
Our high school campers are taking their first steps to develop competition-worthy speeches at this camp in public address, oral interpretation, and limited preparation categories. Previous public speaking/speech experience is preferred. Join us from 1:30 PM – 5:30 PM on Friday, June 14!
MIDDLE SCHOOL INTERP:
Our middle school interp (oral interpretation) camp focuses on teaching students how to interpret literature, make an artistic argument, and embody a character. Think dramatic monologues, slam poetry, or humorous skits. Provide feedback for young performers from 12:30 PM – 3:30 PM on Saturday, June 22! No experience needed.
