Performing Arts Workshops’ DEBATE CAMP (for ages 9-14) is a fun non-competitive academic program where kids use team debate as a platform into learning public speaking, voicing their opinion, and also develop listening & critical thinking skills. The PAW curriculum provides campers with age-appropriate topics, which they explore every aspect of, and teaches them how to structure a debate discussion on those topics. Through this process, kids will discover that you can disagree and still be friends!  The curriculum also demonstrates how to present and defend your own point of view…while still showing empathy for one another. Some of the workshops they get include: vocabulary building, voice and speech, pros and cons, problem solving, rebuttal, wordplay, debate strategy, debate of the day, and the most enjoyable, the round-table discussions.  Also, one of the most immediate benefits of this camp is how these skills can be used as a springboard for the next school year, while having a really fun summer experience.  With only up to 10 children allowed in each session, each child gets a lot of individual attention. And as always with PAW, with us the kids don’t need to audition to participate. Performing Arts Workshops was even named BEST Summer Camp in LA Parent Magazine.  If you want more information about camp, their office staff is always there to help you at (310) 827-8827 or just visit their website – PerformingArtsWorkshops.com
