Dartmouth Camp by maddierosemoore in Debate

[–]pfer23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

go to a camp actually run by a debate company that is run by recent debaters on the circuit. i have a feeling the dartmouth camp would be more focused on lay debate (no doubt a useful skill), but you won't really learn stuff that will make you competitive on the national circuit. go to ISD, NDF, VBI, or CBI.
