Revolutionizing Speech & Debate. For everyone.
Supporting education through accessibility
Speech and Debate is instrumental in changing the lives of young students. However, far too often, underprivileged students are financially ostracized from this activity.
Forensics challenges kids to think critically about the world. You can’t put a price on that. So we don’t.

Live Workshops
At Space City Camp, we believe that continuous learning and practice are key to excelling in speech and debate. That's why we offer monthly live workshops covering a variety of events including World Schools Debate, British Parliamentary Debate, APDA, program and single script interpretation, and limited-prep events. These workshops are led by a diverse team of highly accomplished collegiate competitors, recent graduates, and experienced speech and debate coaches.
Our live workshops are open to all students, from middle school to college, providing a unique opportunity to learn from some of the best in the field. Whether you're a beginner looking to build your skills or a seasoned competitor aiming to refine your techniques, our workshops are designed to meet you where you are and help you grow.
Join us each month to connect with peers, gain new insights, and take your speech and debate skills to the next level.
Cyclical Coaching Initiative
At Space City Camp, we understand that personalized mentorship can make all the difference in a competitor's journey. Our Cyclical Coaching Initiative is designed to provide high school competitors with tailored guidance as they prepare for NSDA Nationals.
Beginning each May, this unique program pairs students with college mentors who are carefully selected based on personality, identities, and event specialization. Through one-on-one sessions and ongoing support, participants receive the focused attention they need to thrive under the pressures of national competition. The Cyclical Coaching Initiative ensures that every competitor is fully prepared to perform at their best when it matters most.
Space City Summer Camp
Every summer, we host a 1-2 week virtual Speech and Debate camp. Our camps are tailored to eager students from middle school to high school. Our virtual model optimizes accessibility and connects students from different parts of the country, and in many cases, the world. Stay tuned to find out when our summer camp will take place in 2025.
“Pedagogy should be a public good, not a privilege”
