2012+Summer+Camp+Opportunities

Starting the year off right is VERY important. Our tournament season begins the last weekend in August and ends (hopefully) in June. So, in order to get ourselves going as quickly as we can, I highly recommend attending a summer institute to help hone your skills. Camp is perfect for the varsity student who's looking to get a jump on the year, the intermediate student who wants to become a contributing varsity member of the team as quickly as possible, or even a brand new student who just wants to find out if camp is for them. There are a multitude of options for you out there. Below, are the three that I recommend:


 * Texas Speech and Debate Camp
 * June 24-30
 * University of Mary-Hardin Baylor (Belton, TX)
 * Great for CX and LD Debate (beginners or advanced)
 * $600 - Scholarships Available (see below)
 * Bonus: Mr. McKenzie teaches at this camp!
 * Cameron University Speech Camp
 * July 15-20 OR July 22-27
 * Cameron University (Lawton, OK)
 * Great for students interested in Individual Events (July 15-20) or advanced debaters (July 22-27)
 * $395 per week (you don't have to attend both) - Scholarships Available (see below)
 * [|The Championship Debate Group]
 * July 22-27
 * Concorida University (Austin, TX)
 * Great alternative date for debaters (if you can't attend TSDC)
 * $650 - Scholarships Available (see below)

Like I said, there are many other options out there available to you. If these dates don't work, but you're wanting to get some summer experience, contact Mr. McKenzie (mckenzier@rcisd.org) to find out about some more options.
