Keep in mind that the Triumph Debate Camp schedule is continuously improving as we add additional staff members or guest speakers, make decisions regarding topics, and edit our curriculum to suit each labs needs depending on their experience.

For Lincoln Douglas, debaters will be informed of the camp topic one week prior to the start of camp and should familiarize themselves with the topic. Preparing debate cases/files is encouraged, but not required. Understanding the topic prior to going into camp will allow debaters to focus on skills and strategies, rather than finishing prep files.

For Policy Debate, our instructors will release our camps files ahead of camp so that students will have time to familiarize themselves with what research looks like on the topic. 

As our camp is being held virtually, students only need to have a device to join Meets on, and a stable internet connection. 

Students will also need to have a Google account, be able to access Google Drive, and have materials like paper and pens to take notes or compete in practice rounds.

Students will complete a diagnostics exam prior to camp so we can appropriately place students. We will inform all students of the lab they are placed into prior to attending camp.

Students, at all times, will have instructors overseeing and supervising them. Furthermore, instructors will be taking attendance multiple times a day. Finally, Triumph Debate offers both an anonymous complaint form for students to let directors know of any incidents as well as an Equity & Inclusion Officer (EIO) for students to express issues to.

Students can attend camp even if they need to miss a day. Simply let our director know before hand, or fill out our form on the Google Classroom that lets instructors know you won't be attending a lesson/day of camp.
