Middle School Public Speaking Camp (Ages 11–13)
Master the art of expressing yourself with clarity and confidence.
Get ready for a week where your confidence grows, your voice shines, and every day brings a new adventure. At the Middle School Public Speaking Camp, students build real confidence through games, challenges, and hands‑on activities that make speaking in front of others feel fun, natural, and empowering. This program provides public speaking help for middle schoolers and teens, focusing on confidence, clarity, and real-world communication skills.
Throughout the week, campers learn how to read a room, connect with an audience, and share their ideas with clarity and purpose. They’ll experiment with different speaking styles, practice storytelling, and explore how to adjust their message depending on who they’re talking to. With interactive lessons and supportive peer feedback, students discover how powerful their voices can be.
The program also introduces the building blocks of great speeches — researching ideas, organizing thoughts, crafting fair arguments, and participating in respectful debate. For a fun, confidence-boosting highlight, campers will create and deliver a campaign speech for a leadership role they’d love to have at their school — whether that’s class president, club leader, team captain, or a role they invent themselves.
And because communication skills matter far beyond the classroom, students will also practice interviewing for their dream future job. Whether they imagine becoming a doctor, game designer, engineer, artist, or entrepreneur, they’ll learn how to introduce themselves, answer questions thoughtfully, and speak about their strengths with confidence. By the end of the week, students walk away with stronger communication skills, a boost in self‑confidence, and the tools to express themselves authentically and persuasively in any setting.
Your child will:
- Learn how to speak persuasively through fun, low‑pressure activities
- Turn monologues into conversations and arguments into thoughtful dialogues
- Build confidence in their voice and discover their unique speaking style
- Share their authentic feelings without fear of judgment
- Practice moderating discussions and debates so every voice is heard
- Improve their social awareness and learn how to “read the room”
- Create and deliver a leadership campaign speech for a role they’d love to hold at school
- Practice interviewing for their dream job, building early career‑readiness skills in a playful, age‑appropriate way
High School Public Speaking Camp (Ages 14–18)
Speak with clarity, lead with confidence, and get ready for what’s next.
New for summer 2027! Get ready for a week where your confidence grows and your voice gets sharper every day. At the High School Public Speaking Camp, teens build real-world communication skills through challenges, simulations, and hands‑on activities that make speaking in front of others feel natural and empowering. This program provides public speaking help for high schoolers, focusing on confidence, clarity, and the communication skills they’ll use in class, in leadership roles, and beyond.
Throughout the week, campers learn how to read a room, connect with an audience, and share their ideas with clarity and purpose. They’ll experiment with different speaking styles, practice storytelling, and learn how to adjust their message depending on who they’re talking to.

The program also covers the building blocks of great speeches — researching ideas, organizing thoughts, crafting fair arguments, and participating in respectful debate. Campers will write and deliver a campaign speech for a leadership role they want to hold — whether that’s student body president, club leader, team captain, or a role they create themselves.
