谁需要参加辩论营？
Our full day Debate/MUN summer camp aims to bring all young students together. We believe that debating, MUN, public speaking and knowing about the wider world are all important skills for people in all generations. Students at all ability levels, from the reluctant speaker to the accomplished debater, will be encouraged to attend.
全天辩论/模拟联合国夏令营将年轻学生们聚集在一起。我们相信辩论、模拟联合国、公开演讲、了解更广阔的世界对所有世代的人来说都是重要的技能。鼓励所有能力水平的学生，从不情愿的演讲者到成功的演讲者，辩论者，都可以参加。
Why full day camp?
为什么要开全天的夏令营？
I was asked by parents about this many times. We do not treat this as the classroom only, we believe that “camp” creates a novel and secure learning environment in two or three weeks where campers can safely try new skills, think independently, see opposing viewpoints and trust their teammates. After debate camp, campers will feel encouraged and confident in their ability to discuss topics that they were unsure of just a few weeks ago.
这个问题被家长问过很多次了。我们不仅仅把营地当作课堂，我们相信在两到三周内，“营地”会在创造一个新颖而安全的学习环境，让营员们可以安全地尝试新技能、学习并开始独立思考、看到对立的观点并信任他们的队友。辩论营结束后，营员们会对自己讨论几周前还不确定的话题的能力感到鼓舞和自信。

Why debate camp is more expensive than Chinese Camp,
为什么辩论营比中文夏令营更贵些？
It is all about the ratio, the debate camp is in a ratio (Coach and Students) of 1:8 or 1:9, and this ratio will allow the debate round to be performed meanwhile effective learning. But our debate camp is still at the better standing at affordability than the most other debating camps without compromising the quality of the debate camp.
最终决定的是教师和学生的比例，辩论营是1:8或1:9的比例，这样的比例可以让辩论赛进行的同时有效的学习。但是，
在不影响辩论营质量的情况下，我们的辩论营在可负担能力方面仍然比大多数其他辩论营更好一些。
What’s debate camp/program for?
为什么要开办辩论营和辩论课程？
During development of the debating is not the skill for competition purposes only. We believe that to have advocacy skills, and the ability to effectively organize one’s thoughts, the ability to listen and be heard and to respond their opponents with effective points and counter-points, leadership and interpersonal relationships. These are the skills that all kids should develop. Education has forever operated on a belief in the skills, ability and good intention of the future generation. Our debate camp is designed to be invested in this work. Not only do politicians, social workers and lawyers need these skills, but also engineers, doctors, programmers and all other careers need these skills.
学习辩论并不一定是为了比赛为目的的。我们认为，拥有宣传技巧，有效组织思想的能力，使用正确的词汇和修辞方法，
倾听和被倾听的能力，以及用有效的观点和反观点、领导力和处理人际关系的能力。这些是所有孩子都应该培养的技能。
教育永远基于对未来一代的技能、能力和良好意愿的信念。我们的辩论营就是在做这个事情。不仅政治家、社会工作者和律师
需要这些技能，工程师、医生、程序员和所有其他职业都需要这些技能。
