<p>A few ideas:

  1. Model UN - my child has participated from 7th grade onwards. Some middle schools have it and sometimes extends into the summer, opened up to all students.<br>
  2. The Lyceum - in Boston. [The</a> Lyceum for Oratory](<a href=“http://www.oratorylyceum.com%5DThe”>http://www.oratorylyceum.com). Not sure if they accept 6th graders or rising 7th graders but they may be able to give you a few leads for MA-based programs.
  3. In Maryland, Capitol Debates. Call them - they do participate in Boston debates and may have additional ideas.
  4. In Virginia, 1 week Debate camp at the renowned Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. They do accept 6th graders but based in VA.</p>
