With over 20 years of experience enriching the lives of students through debate, Capitol Debate’s mission is to help youth find their voice. Are you a competitive debater? You have come to the right place. Our faculty is at the top of their industry – our expert staff has coached countless student debaters to national championship wins and helped even the timidest kids become confident leaders with high self-esteem.

Never debated before? No worries. Thousands of shy students have walked through our doors to become confident young adults and leaders in their communities. Our strategy is to unlock the hidden talents students possess. Our aim is to use instruction, education, and learning to provide the most important component of our debate camps- fun!

We placed students in groups based on two aspects: experience level and grade level. This helps us provide a more personalized experience where the instructors can focus on students’ strengths and needs.
