FHC Summer Debate Camp
FHC Speech and Debate welcomes incoming freshmen to join us for a week-long debate camp! Learn about the fundamentals of debate and get to know the team. You do not need to join the team in the fall to attend.
We will give priority to students who are incoming freshmen to FHC next year. We will accept up to 24 students on a first-come-first-served basis. After application close, if students other than FHC incoming freshmen have applied and there are spots available, they will be granted a spot. You will receive an email either way by June 15th.
