Welcome to the CHARLOTTE-SPEAKS PREMIUM COMMUTER INSTITUTE!

Novices, varsity, coaches, parents and judges come join us for an exciting in-person commuter event where you can hone your speech and debate skills before the official 2024-25 season kicks off. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or just starting out, this is the perfect opportunity to practice, learn, and connect with other speech and debate enthusiasts. We are holding seats to a maximum of 100 and we expect our event to sell-out. Submit your $50 non-refundable deposit ASAP to secure your seat. We will follow-up with you after you pay your balance to collect all pertinent camper information. Waitlists BITE!
