Don’t take our word for it !

We are incredibly grateful for over 14 years of support from our amazing community, and all their feedback we have received over the years. In many ways, they describe the Westfield summer academy experience best.

I now separate my life into BD before debate and DD during debate I hope it never becomes AD after debate.

Words really can’t express how much I... want to thank you for these last 3 weeks. They have... been magical. My son comes home every day full of confidence and pride and joy... I’ve watched him grow exponentially more confident and mature... THANK YOU... for the truly life changing experience!

Summer camp was a great experience - not only did I develop and hone critical skills like debate, public speaking, research, critical thinking, and speechwriting but it was also a lot of FUN! I got to meet many great people, and I learned about a wonderful community that... I had no idea existed.

When I started at Westfield... I knew nothing about debate. In one week, not only did I learn how to debate, but I also had a lot of fun! The environment was very supportive, and really helped me improve. Plus, I made some good friends. In addition to debate, their public speaking program is top notch. I had some one-on-one time with an award winning public speaker, and that really helped me. It was through this camp that I became very enthusiastic about debate. I cannot recommend it enough.

My son was so thrilled to attend debate camp last week. And debate has been coming up a lot... ‘that would make a good debate,’ ‘when we were at debate camp’, etc. Really a wonderful experience!

What an amazing program you have...My son went from a kid who was only going because his friend was going, to maybe I don’t want to go, to I’d like to go next year—I think I could improve my skills! I want to thank you for helping my son take this journey, he was extremely talkative on the way home!
