<p>Does anyone know of any nationally renowned debate camps? I've very interested in debate so if anyone could inform me, that'd be great. Thanks.</p>
<p>its kind of over...
and what type of debate?
for policy debate, the good ones are:
U of M <a href="http://www.michigandebate.com%5B/url%5D">www.michigandebate.com</a>
DDI (darmouth debate institute)
yeah those are the two best.
got to <a href="http://www.cross-x.com%5B/url%5D">www.cross-x.com</a> for more</p>
<p>Beware though, going to the very top prestigious camps may not always produce the best results during your season. Debate is different for different parts of the country. If your circuit emphasizes traditional (ie, slower stock-issues debate), and you go to a camp like UTNIF or DDI that emphasizes national circuit (ie, fast kritikal debate), you may have problems readjusting to your local judging pool back home.</p>
<p>DDI and UMICH are hard to get into the top labs so I would just work on getting a good record this year first and then apply. Specifically, Umich 7 week is a top camp, and DDI senior lab cannot be beat. Other good camps are Z's for rising sophmores, UTNIF supersession, UK fellows, and Berkely is alright.</p>
