We built the camp we always wished existed.

Most debate camps are taught by people who competed years ago. Champ Camp is different — our coaches are the debaters who won this season. Champions and finalists from TOC, Glenbrooks, Harvard, and more.

We kept enrollment small on purpose. Small groups mean you actually get coached, not just watched.

Founded by Om Modi and Atharva Srivastava, with curriculum built by TOC Champion Bolang Zhu.

  • 01

    Daily sessions with top coaches

    Each coach runs their own block — strategy, theory, skills drills. Direct access, no fluff.

  • 02

    Practice rounds & live feedback

    Debate against real people. Get honest, cut-throat feedback from coaches who just won these rounds.

  • 03

    Small groups. Real access.

    This is not a 500-person camp. Limited spots means you actually get coached.

  • 04

    Philosophy & theory deep dives

    Understand the arguments most debaters cannot answer — how to run them and how to beat them.

Testimonials

What students say about our coaches.

“Om is truly one of the best coaches I have ever had the opportunity to work with. His relentless dedication to improving himself and everyone around him creates an inclusive atmosphere where nobody is left behind. Whether through his highly catered one-on-one sessions or engaging group lectures, he ensures everyone stays involved and everyone improves.”

Shrihan Thangam

“Working with Atharva was one of the most strategic decisions I made for my circuit debate career because of the monumental growth I saw between my freshman and sophomore year. I went from being a local trad debater to consistently breaking at national tournaments and TFA. While many coaches just hand you a file and send you out into the wild, Atharva made sure to teach me everything he sent me, do personalized drills using a long term growth plan, and give innovative preround analysis that helped me leverage my specific strengths to beat opponents significantly better than me.”

About the Program

A full week of elite instruction.

One week. The coaches who just won the tournaments you are trying to win.

What Champ Camp is

Champ Camp is a one-week online Lincoln-Douglas debate intensive running June 7–13. Built for competitive debaters who want to improve quickly — whether chasing first bids, trying to break at a national circuit tournament, or genuinely trying to understand the arguments at the top levels of the activity.

Every day runs from 11 AM to 4:30 PM CST. That is 5.5 hours of live instruction, practice, and feedback per day.

How the days are structured

Each coach runs their own block. You get instruction from specialists, not a generalist trying to cover everything. Our coaching staff covers the full range: policy and K strategy, philosophy and theory, practice rounds with live feedback.

Afternoons are built around practice rounds. Coaches will stop rounds, correct in the moment, and explain exactly what is happening and why.

Why we kept it small

There are camps with hundreds of students. This is not one of them. We capped enrollment so that every student gets real access — not a seat in a large lecture where you never speak directly with anyone.

Who runs it

Champ Camp was co-founded by Om Modi (Lynbrook HS, TOC Finalist, Glenbrooks Champion) and Atharva Srivastava (McNeil HS, TOC Semifinalist, TFA State Champion). Curriculum was developed by Bolang Zhu, TOC Champion.

For parents: Champ Camp is a structured, supervised online program with clear daily schedules. Email us at mcneilatharva@gmail.com with any questions.
