What:  A week-long day camp introducing middle school students to high school activities and academics.  Mornings will consist of a week-long introduction to Speech and Debate events, including acting, writing, persuasive speaking, and/or debate.  In the afternoons, high school students will lead activities that familiarize campers with academic and extracurricular programs available to them. Who:   Camp is open to all Missoula area students entering 6th – 9th grade in the Fall of 2016.  Campers will choose the events and activities that best fit their interests.  This camp is for anyone interested in acting, writing, arguing, creativity, speaking, performing, or competing.  Students will not be required to participate in events outside of their comfort zone (i.e. not everyone has to debate, or participate in an acting event). Where:       All activities will take place at Big Sky High School. Cost:         Free, includes a camp t-shirt, materials, snacks, and lunch for all five days. Exhibition:  Friday afternoon, 1:00pm – 5:00pm, followed by an awards ceremony for families at 5:30pm. 9th Grade: Upperclassmen will guide incoming Freshman in specific activities to help with the high school transition.
Speech, Debate, and Drama      9:00am – Noon, Mon-Fri Campers may choose to participate in 1-3 events
Acting & Interpretation Campers select a 3-5 minute dramatic work and learn to create characters and movement.  Pieces may be either humorous or serious in nature, and do not need to be memorized		Prepared Speaking Campers choose a topic of interest and write a 3-5 minute speech.  Topics can be either persuasive or informational in nature, and may include visual aids and posters if desired.		Impromptu Speaking Campers will learn how to give organized, persuasive speeches that are not pre-written.  They are given a topic (bravery, friendship, etc.) and have 5 minutes to prepare a 3 minute speech		Debate Campers will spend the week preparing to debate a topic relevant to them.  They will research the topic, write their position on both sides, and learn how to argue against opponents.
