The Wildcat Junior Summer Intensive is an immersive day camp on debate and speech learning, with plenty of practice experience, enrolling Rising K-5th graders from all (17) elementary schools that feed into Plano Senior High School. Students from outside our feeder schools are also able to join us.
Students will collaborate with peers who challenge them academically, and make them become better students, debaters, and citizens. Whether experienced or building foundational skills, our camps are designed to take your student to the next level.
Labs will be run exclusively by nationally recognized adult instructors and led by Plano Senior Speech and Debate Coach Naomi Bell.
Camp will be July 13-17 at Clark High School in Plano, Texas at 523 Spring Creek Pkwy, Plano, TX 75023.
Daily Structure:
Each day, students are guided by accomplished coaches who have both competed at and coached others to state and national levels. They are also supported by junior staff members who have qualified for state and national competitions themselves.
Students participate in direct instruction, small-group practicums, and simulated and real competitive scenarios designed to fully prepare them for their speech and debate experience in the upcoming academic year.
We view this program as a resource for the community and your children, which is why we strive to keep our prices as affordable as possible. Along with high-qualify speech and debate instruction, we will also offer safe and nutritious snacks.
