If you’re making plans for your children’s summer camp experience, Greenwich Debate Camp provides an engaging, skills-enrichment opportunity for students in grades 5 through 10.
In 2025 organizers are excited to once again bring Debate Camp to Greenwich.

“We offer a well-loved program in public speaking, parliamentary debate, Model United Nations and general confidence-building for the aspiring young speaker,” said Nick Szymanis, founding director of Debate Camp. “Debate Camp is open to all ability levels and programs are challenge-levelled — with instruction available for novice to competitive speakers.”
Campers work in small groups to develop their ideas, and speak in partnership as part of 2- and 4-person teams representing their side of the debate resolution (parliamentary- style).
Young speakers at all levels are generally amazed at their growth and development over 1 week.
All instruction and supervision ratios are set at 1:8. The daily schedule also includes organized games, impromptu speaking, drama and interactive activities to ensure camp retains a fun and balanced approach to learning. Model United Nations simulations and mini-tournaments complete the week.
“The feedback we encounter is often on the theme of genuine surprise at just how enjoyable an academic enrichment and skills development program can be,” Szymanis said.
Day camp sessions at Greenwich Academy (5-day programs) and one-week sleep-away camps with supervised transport options from the Stamford Amtrak Station.
