20047wkheg20047weeklabroom2004jaslab

If you are looking for the most comprehensive and challenging summer workshop experience, the Michigan Seven Week Program is for you. These labs offer the only cohesive, continuous seven-week summer program for high school debaters. The Seven Week Labs offer a student to faculty ratio of 8 to 1 or better a better ratio than any major lab in the country. In addition, in 2006 the 7 Week Lab turned out arguably the best evidence set in the country (the 2007 Seven Week evidence set was over 5000 pages).  Seven Week Labs are available for rising seniors and juniors.

The Seven Week Program is our most exclusive camp.  ONLY THE TOP 68 Juniors and top 32 Seniors WILL BE ADMITTED TO THE 7 WEEK CAMPS! The only applicants who are elligible are students who will be a junior or senior entering the 2008/2009 debate yearThe Seven Week Lab combines technological innovation (video taped debates, wireless internet in the lab rooms) with the best debate instructors in the country and our incredible U of M research facilities to make the most comprehensive camp experience available in the United States.

The unique format of the Seven Week Labs ensures that students receive an intensive, comprehensive and non-duplicative curriculum. This years program will, once again, split the juniors and seniors into separate labs.  The 7 Week Lab Leaders will split up the research assignments so that no assignments will be duplicative and every single student will receive every bit of evidence the two 7 Week Camps produce.  The Junior and Senior labs will make practice round schedules together so you still have exposure to all of the 7 Week Faculty and teams.  This program therefore offers unparalleled opportunities for in-depth instruction and learning, and extensive analysis of the new national debate resolution. 

We believe that the structure of the 7 Week Camp is entirely unique and cannot be duplicated in any other camp environment in the USA.  If you want to elevate every aspect of your debate ability in an intensive 7 week environment this is the camp for you!
