"All of the counselors put a great amount of effort into the program, and I appreciate all of their work. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun."

"The best aspect of camp was the awesome counselors. I also liked the tournament at the end, because I got to practice the things I'd learned. The worst part was leaving at the end :("

"The camp was a lot of work, but I thought that it was the perfect amount. All of the work involved enhanced the experience and made the camp a better learning experience."

"I thought CDC was a very valuable experience. It was certainly one of the best camps I've been to. I loved learning about debate. The best aspects were that the counselors were all extremely helpful, and that I was able to get a "head start" on debate."

"I would probably consider this camp as one of my favorites of all time, because the staff, students, schedule, and debating as a whole was incredible and a truly enjoyable experience."

"This camp was absolutely amazing. I had a great time, and it really made me change my mind about debating. I hope to do well in policy debate in the future!"

"I thought that CDC made the camp the perfect length and intensity for beginning debaters."

"I liked all the counselors because they actually paid attention to what the campers tried to say, and they taught us at a great pace."

"I got to make a lot of new friends while learning and experiencing a new thing. The time I got to spend with my group and other campers in general was most memorable for me."

"It was definately alot of fun. I thought debate would be a really boring and nerdy thing to do, but I was completely convinced otherwise! I plan on taking policy debate in high school."

"I loved how every person was given individual attention and how we were encouraged to work with our peers for debating."

"Originally, my child was very upset when I informed her that she should attend debate camp over the summer. However, once it was over, she wished it could be more than one week! Keep up the great work, thank you so much, and don't stop this fantastic camp in future years!"

"For [my daughter] to go from 'I'll hate you if you put me in this camp' [before attending] to 'save the [information] for next year' [after] is a huge credit to you, your ingenuity, your honesty and your feedback."

"Surprisingly, my daughter seemed to love the camp and met some nice friends. I did not think she would like something so academic in the summer, but she did. THANKS!!!"

"From what my child told me, the counselors were fantastic. She just couldn't stop talking about them!"

"I read one of the typed feedbacks that you gave to [my daughter] on the last day and found it on point. For you to take the time to type up a well thought out positive/negative feedback statement that kids can take action on was wonderful and far above what teachers ever do for kids. Thanks for the personal touch!"

"The counselors' efforts to make the individual family's schedule were wonderful and greatly appreciated."

"The counselors seemed very helpful to my daughter. She learned a lot, and is now very interested in debate. In fact, she is going to join the debate club at her school in the fall."
