“Omega was the perfect introduction to debate. I entered the camp as a beginner and was honestly really nervous about public speaking. But Omega helped me overcome my speech anxiety, cultivate a passion for debate, and master the fundamentals of the activity, developing a strong foundation for a successful debate career.”

“I entered Omega as a rising 5th grader with zero debate experience. During my 4 years in the program, I learned more about debate than I could’ve imagined. Omega helped me win awards at multiple national tournaments as a middle schooler. And now, I’m one of the few high school freshmen in the country who can jump directly to the varsity level of debate and compete against juniors and seniors. I can’t thank Omega enough for accelerating my debate career!”

“The Omega Summer Camp is incredibly fun. I went in thinking that debate is boring, but Omega completely changed my mind. That’s because Omega teaches debate through a bunch of super fun and educational games. I had a blast and the Omega camp was honestly the highlight of my summer.”

“The Omega Speech Camp is the best public speaking program there is! I entered the camp as a super shy kid. I hated giving presentations at school and speaking in front of audiences. But in just one week, Omega helped me overcome my shyness and speech anxiety. I can now confidently deliver speeches to large audiences! I want to specifically thank Hannah Kim, who is the best speech instructor ever. She believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. Her compassion and encouragement has changed my life for the better.”
