Commitment
We are thoroughly committed to creating high-quality, competitive, and dedicated educational opportunities for our students. We're not-for-profit, which is an expression of our core values.
Southwest Speech and Debate is a not-for-profit camp held on the campus of Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona State University each summer. We are excited to be back in person in 2022! SWSD@ASU brings together some of the best coaches and former competitors from Arizona and states across the country.
What sets us apart is that we do this because we love teaching, and we love forensics. Our small size guarantees that we are not only able to hire top notch instructors but also ensure that each student has individual work time with staff.

Our curriculum is an intensive series of practice, coaching, and classroom work. We are delighted to announce that, barring unforeseen circumstances, we are planning to be back live and in person next summer! We have an excellent staff of quality educators, an outstanding practice-driven curriculum, and top-quality facilities for learning and instruction. We look forward to welcoming students back to ASU’s campus for another great summer of Speech and Debate instruction!
SWSD@ASU offers some of the best, most competitive pricing in the industry. We believe everybody should be able to get the experience of debate camp, no matter what their economic situation might be. We are a not-for-profit camp, and we do our best to provide financial aid to those who might need it.
We pride ourselves on our curriculum because we believe in adapting it each year based on the needs of the circuit, novice and returning campers, and the feedback we receive at the end of each camp.
Our curricula are designed to be intense, practice-driven investigations of the events that we offer. Our expert staff works tirelessly to create lectures, drills, activities, and exercises that hone skills, and build knowledge.
