NOVA Debate Camp

Debate is an exclusionary activity, and one of the most prominent ways this plays out is the high cost of summer camps. Some charge hundreds or even thousands of dollars, a cost that inadvertently prevents many people from attending. At NOVA, we believe debate is best when we learn from each other, which is only possible if a diverse array of perspectives and backgrounds are included. NOVA was free last year and expanded access to top-tier debate instruction to many students who would've been shut out by traditional camps. This year, hundreds of students have already signed up for what's sure to be an open and uniquely enriching camp experience.
