I went to the camp wanting to improve my debate skills, but I learned so much more and enjoyed extemp so much! The coaches were very motivational and made learning fun such as the fluency drills which were like games. My skills in debate and speaking have really come far in the short time a week is due to the amazing feedback coaches provide. I would definitely recommend this camp to anyone in any speech or debate event or someone just interest in speech and debate! Your content, delivery, and ability to think on the spot are sure to improve.

It was an amazing opportunity to participate in this program and helped me know where I needed to improve right before the speech & debate season started.

The camp has really helped my child get more confident in their speaking skills and how they do in debate. I have noticed my child is more up to date on current issues and is passionate about the camp as she seemed to enjoy all the activities everyday. A big thanks to the coaches that organized this amazing camp!

The 2021 Ohio Extemp Initiative was influential in the development of my skills as an extemper. The impactful drills that are taught, if used to practice, can tremendously advance one's delivery, and the feedback provided by the instructors was top-notch.
