Learn about Camp

Stoneleigh-Burnham School offers both day and overnight camp options. Our day and overnight summer programs for girls blend excellent instruction for young debaters, dancers, artists, and athletes with a community full of fun and self-discovery. Campers live in SBS dormitories, enjoying campus life with new friends. Our coed day camps pack excitement and learning into each day. By Empowering Girls to Lift Up Their Voice, this camp offers a stimulating and supportive environment to develop your own voice as a speaker, thinker, and advocate. 

You will learn and practice:

  • Parliamentary Debate
  • Impromptu Speaking
  • Interpretive Reading
  • Persuasive Speech
  • Satirical Speech (“After Dinner”)

You will emerge from this camp with increased proficiency in all of these different events which feature at tournaments offered by the Debating Association of New England Independent Schools (DANEIS).

Your instructors will include Stoneleigh-Burnham’s debate coaching faculty and experienced student competitors in our Debate and Public Speaking Society.

But that is not all! Be prepared to enjoy Stoneleigh-Burnham’s gorgeous campus, daily swimming in the pool, plenty of social time with special treats, games, movie nights, and other fun activities. This will be the experience of a lifetime. Don’t miss it!
