| My children have attended this fantastic workshop, and, as a parent, I have learned along with my children. The instructors are knowledgeable and connect well with the students. They will inspire and motivate your children to learn. If you want to give your kids a glimpse of how debate prepares you to be a communicator for Christ and gives you confidence in public speaking, you must attend this workshop. This a great opportunity right in our backyard! ~ Rhonda Evans |
