About us.

We are speech and debate coaches from the San Antonio area who believe in the power of speech and debate to build confidence, conviction, and character in students who will go on to be future leaders in a variety of academic fields. We believe that in order to expand speech and debate participation across the greater San Antonio area we must focus on providing an accessible product that targets and promotes the intellectual and social growth of the city's youth.

Established in 2017

This will be our third year of offering a summer camp to middle school and early high school students. Each year we have expanded our camp to reach a larger audience and this year is no different. We are so excited to be adding both a Drama and a Public Speaking and Leadership track to help reach more students with diverse interests!

Our Goal

The ultimate goal of our camp is to start your student on the lifelong path of advocacy and leadership that will help them throughout high school, college, and beyond. While multiple studies have demonstrated the positive effect that speech and debate have on test scores, college admissions, and success in upper level classes, we believe that the biggest benefit gained from speech and debate are the portable skills like critical thinking, research, and communication ability that students learn.
