Welcome to Champion Debate Camp (CDC)! We are now celebrating fifth fourth year of operation, and we are pleased to offer an expanded curriculum and staff to next year's campers and parents!
Champion Debate was formed in 2005 by Stanford student and Thomas Jefferson graduate Crystal Zheng to introduce middle and high school students to the world of debate through an inexpensive, high-quality program. Five years later, Champion Debate has grown and flourished, educating successful debaters every year.
Students enter our program new to debate, many shy, and others skeptical about debate's value. They leave as confident, competent debaters, many of whom immediately join their school teams and go on to great success in regional and state leagues, such as placing in the regional Metrofinals or attending the Harvard Invitational.
Interested? If you are, you might want to read testimonials of past campers and their parents, or check the sidebar for information on this year's program. Questions? Check our FAQ, or feel free to contact us at championdebate@championdebate.com, and our staff will respond within three days.
