| Debate Camp || Many debaters attend a debate camp over the summer to refine their skills. In fact, many debaters might say that they developed their debating skills the most during their time at debate camp. These camps are private organizations that are run across the country. Depending on their region, certain debate camps might focus more on certain styles of argumentation (e.g. a debate camp in the West Coast might focus more on policy style arguments.) Circuitdebater does not endorse any particular debate camps, and as such, we will not be listing them here. However, you are strongly recommended to reach out to others in the community for suggestions on what debate camps might be appropriate for you. Don't be afraid to directly message debaters about their experiences at debate camps – these are often far more telling than what their various websites might tell you. | | Debate Camp || Many debaters attend a debate camp over the summer to refine their skills.

| [https:// | | [https://opencaselist.com/hsld22 NDCA Wiki]|| After most circuit LD rounds, debaters will disclose their cases by uploading them to the wiki after the round. Through this wiki, you can download various cases and see the style of arguments that are read, as well as try to decipher what some of the arguments are saying. Fair warning: you should not expect yourself to understand all (or even most) of the arguments here. Some of them are probably gibberish, and also, even experienced debaters fail to understand many arguments they themselves are reading in round. | ||
