<p>I am pleased to extend an invitation to the 2014 NCFA Debate Camp hosted by Santa Rosa Junior College.&nbsp; The camp will take place on Saturday, September 13 and focus on NPDA and NFA-LD style debate. This year we are experimenting with a new format that we hope will make the camp beneficial to both our rookie and more seasoned competitors alike.&nbsp; The event will follow last year&rsquo;s single day format, and will consist of lectures and labs in the morning with a 3 round mock tournament in the afternoon.</p> <p>One big change from past NCFA debate camps is our plan to offer some advanced lectures in the morning for your more experienced debaters.&nbsp; It is our hope this will increase participation by seasoned debaters who will then participate on judging panels in the afternoon. The advanced sessions will be collapsed (both NPDA and LD open debaters) and will focus on debate theory. The final advanced session will be a prototype NCFA judge training that will aim to prepare open competitors to judge in the following mock tournament as well as high school forensics and &ldquo;spring fling&rdquo; type outlets.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
