Team Policy debate, often abbreviated as TP, asks competitors to develop and defend competing policy options to address contemporary problems. The purpose of Team Policy debate is to instill in Christian home school students the skills of presentation, critical thinking, research, and policy analysis. In this type of debate, teams debate a governmental policy resolution. This mandatory topic is announced at the beginning of each year.

The teams are made up of two debaters each. Students will learn to debate on both sides of the resolution. One side is called Affirmative, the other is called Negative. One affirms the resolution, the other opposes the affirming team's case and usually defends the current policy.

During registration for this camp, you may sign up with a partner for the week or have the camp assign one to you for your debate practice times.

In the Parent/Coach track, we provide special lectures that will help new coaches with tricks of the trade for bringing excellence to your team. In addition, you are given access to the same high quality lectures that the students attend each day. You are free to pick which lectures will best prepare you to help prepare them! We also teach judging philosophy and give an orientation.
