The world's most
popular debate format,
taught at the highest
level.
We recognize PF is one of the most popular forms of debate and we welcome students from across the US and from abroad. Harvard Debate Council believes in the ability of debate to help engage and change the world and is a leader in international debate experiences, providing students from around the world the opportunity to study different forms of debate on the Harvard campus each summer. Knowledgeable faculty lecture on topic areas relevant to resolutions debated throughout the year as well as on key public forum strategies and techniques.
After the first week, the workshop focuses on preparation for the tournament practicum. Two days are dedicated to intensive practice including interlab stop/start and redo debates as well as debates within lab. The final two days are devoted to the practice tournament. Throughout the practice tournament, the staff continues to find teachable moments – from modeling tournament practices, to encouraging students to refine arguments and techniques, to strategizing with students, helping them to improve their debating in each successive round. All students not competing in elimination rounds of the practice tournament will judge.

What Students
and Parents Say
I am writing to thoroughly thank you and everyone else involved with the camp. I questioned how much I could learn without being able to see my classmates or my instructors, but I was so wrong.
This has been my best and favorite camp experience ever, even better than the camps I have attended in person. I genuinely learned so much—not just about Public Forum, but also how to be more confident and work better with others.
The camp was extremely well organized, and I was surprised by how much I was able to learn in such a short time. I feel like I grew so much as a debater.
The staff were incredible—every instructor was helpful and willing to give feedback. I also really enjoyed the variety of topics that were especially relevant today.
These are life skills I will carry with me forever. Thank you for all the amazing memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.
Public Forum Debater
As the summer winds down, I wanted to send a quick note of thanks for the July debate workshop. It was definitely a highlight of a very unusual few months.
The program not only motivated me to prepare for the school year, but also challenged me to take on a large project during a difficult time.
I had a great time participating in the tournament and grew more than ever as a debater and thinker. The teachers were incredibly helpful and truly amazing people.
Public Forum Debater
My son really enjoyed the camp over the past two weeks. Thank you for all the time, planning, and effort that went into making it possible. He truly got a lot out of the experience.
Mother of Public Forum Debater
My daughter just finished a two-week debate camp with you. She had a great experience and really enjoyed the lectures and instructors.
Thank you again for organizing such a meaningful program.
