Join Us August 16-20 for Debate & MUN – from Anywhere!

Leave a comment

Only 3 weeks until the highlight of our summer (it’s true!). Reserve your spot here today!

After much deliberation, we will host our summer program for middle and high schoolers virtually given the quickly shifting health trends. We are disappointed, but we remain confident in our ability to remain engaging and impactful online. Further, running online makes good sense since most tournaments will continue to be hosted online this fall. Public speaking has taken on a new dimension, and mastering the art of virtual communication is necessary for us all going forward. Additionally, we have students joining us from across the country – we love diverse perspectives!

Remember, our summer program is perfect both for on-ramping beginners, as well as for advanced debaters wanting to hit the ground running in September! We have you covered wherever you are:

  • do you like to think big thoughts? ask tough questions? work out solutions?
  • are you a complete novice?
  • are you changing tracks (novice to varsity/open) or leagues (middle to high school)?
  • do you love extemporaneous debate (it’s a bit like a roller coaster!)?
  • are you looking to improve early in the season?
  • do you enjoy working with others to develop an idea?
  • do you love the creative story arc of a good MUN simulation?

Register today! We customize camp each year to the students attending. Bring a friend & spread the word!

Summer Program 2021

TL;DR Registration link dropped!

We are thrilled to continue our summer Debate and Model United Nations (MUN) programs again this year!

We will run August 16-20, 2021. Format TBD closer to the date according to the public health situation. We aim to run in person, but if we must run online (or hybrid), it will remain engaging, productive, and fun! We have hosted robust virtual programs last spring, summer, and this academic year.

Registration for the academic year skills program & team is OPEN!

Given the current health circumstances, we are pivoting from our usual in-person practices. Instead, we are moving to the Zoom platform for the fall (spring tbd).

It works! Our Summer Program was a huge success(!), and several of our debaters competed in virtual tournaments early summer (special shout out to Adele Burke for making it to out-rounds twice at the Regan Great Communicator Debate Series!). All tournaments – CDA, CTMSDL, Invitationals, and more – will continue to run online this fall.

Practices begin August 31 – meeting Mondays, 5-7p. We look forward to working with y’all this year!

2020 times are strange to be sure – some days drag and yet the weeks are flying! Here at The Hive, we’ve pivoted to bring you another excellent summer of Debate & MUN. This year, in accordance with health guidelines and in order to make attendance possible for more folks, we are hosting our program virtually – and we couldn’t be more excited by the possibilities! One big difference is that we are splitting the disciplines into separate weeks so we don’t get screen fatigue.

Don’t let this opportunity pass you by – sign up today!

  • July 13 – 17, 11a-3p ($250)
  • July 20 – 24, 2-5:30p ($150)
