The Emory National Debate Institute has released its schedule of summer programs for 2011, with programs for rising 6th graders and up.

For rising middle-school students (entering 6th, 7th or 8th grade), Emory is holding a two-week camp at Pace Academy.

Rising high-school students can choose from several programs on the Emory campus. Choices include a two-week camp, recommended for rising freshmen and those who are new to debate; a four-week institute for rising sophomores; and six-week institutes for rising juniors and seniors.

In all camps, students will focus on key elements of debate, including research, analysis and public speaking.

Registration for the high-school programs will close on April 1, 2011.
