Intro to public speaking

​Did you know that one of the most common phobias is the fear of public speaking? Public speaking is an essential life skill that everyone will have to face, whether in school, in an extracurricular activity, or in a future career. This camp offers the fundamentals of confident public speaking to your rising 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Grader without any needed prerequisites. We will focus on developing three main skills: argumentation, critiquing, and delivery. Your child will learn how to form his or her own opinion, refute opinions they don’t agree with, and practice the basics of confident and clear public speaking. We will use age-appropriate content to keep your child engaged and excited while they are learning these valuable techniques. Your child will finish the camp with greater confidence and be equipped with basic tools they will cherish for life.
