We believe that debate can do much more than teach critical thinking. Mastery of debate entails a particular blend of critical thinking and artistic expression. It requires both the capacity to understand the nuances of complex issues as well as the ability to make a clear and compelling case that moves your audience towards truth. In this regard, Ethos adheres to the classical understanding of rhetoric as an activity that inherently requires strict adherence to the highest standards ethics.

We believe in only providing the best instruction, and bring the experience of national championship debaters and coaches to provide you with a true depth of experience. With Patrick Henry College debate coaches, national champions, and top debaters, we bring the most enthusiastic and in-depth teaching on the market. Come to our debate camps and you will get infected with our passion to train the next generation to both think and communicate.

Unfortunately, though we have even more demands for camps than ever before (over 20 locations requested), many of our accomplished staff have complicated summers of internships and crazy experiences. To keep the quality and provide you access, we are attempting to schedule “regionally available” camps. PHC has opened capacity to over 120 and will be the “no holds barred” feature camp with experts, field trips to DC, and some special surprises.
