national debate forum

Summit Debate believes specialization is critical to success in competitive speech and debate. The National Debate Forum is the home for our Public Forum and Lincoln Douglas summer institutes. One of the largest institutes in the country, we held our first summer institute in 1997 at the University of Minnesota.

Although the camp has changed a variety of ways through the years, our commitment to help students reach new levels in their pursuit of excellence has never changed. Learn more about our locations, dates, divisions and cost below.
