Training Minds Camp was an amazing experience, a solid week of practically nonstop learning! The coaches and teachers were all excellent, and the classes were small enough for everyone to get attention. — Meghan McKinley, Colorado

You can’t help but be touched by the heart of this ministry. To assist our children — ALL of our children! not just the superstars — to be sound thinkers and winsome speakers who seek to glorify God is something every parent desires (or should). There was so much packed into this camp! — Jane DeGisi, Kansas

The coaches were fantastic! They were always willing to answer my questions or help me figure out what to say/ignore in my debate speeches. They provided me with the ammunition I needed to succeed in future debate rounds. — Katherine Birdsong, Georgia

I always wondered why the best debaters always went to this, and now I know! This camp really opened my eyes about how much goes into being a great debater and I learned a lot! — Christopher Hill, Florida

NITC was great! The coaches were encouraging and also challenged me to go above and beyond. I also found the NITC society very helpful. It was wonderful to go into a round against someone I had never debated and still feel confident. — Morgan Levy, Colorado

Training Minds Ministry is really awesome. You learn so much without ever even realizing it, because you are having way too much fun. — Brian Pederson, Colorado

As a veteran speech and debater, I was doubtful as to how useful NITC would be. Both times I have gone, I have been astounded. It really does do THAT much for you. The confidence going into round one of nats and the tips from top coaches is totally worth the investment! — Jared Rixstine, Illinois

NITC is what lubricates and eliminates the rust. Not only does is it offer a time for practice and feedback from amazing coaches, NITC provides lectures on advanced strategies that prepare competitors to focus and take their upcoming rounds by the horns. — Luis Garcia, 2011 Apologetics Title Winner

Camp taught me a very important lesson: it is one thing to have a brain, another thing entirely to use it and think. This, I observed, was one of the most important teaching philosophies in the classes. — Emily Rogers, Georgia

I have to say that I wish I had this foundation my first year. The training I was provided was amazing and very practical. Thank you so much Training Minds. — Jonathan Hixson, Florida

Before I went to Training Minds Camp I didn’t think I could speak smoothly, make good arguments, understand how to write a interp, or understand debate. Training Minds Camp changed all of that.

After attending Training Minds, I now thoroughly understand many of the concepts necessary to Lincoln Douglas debate. — Seth Heard, Florida

In my first three years of LD, my win/loss ratio was horrendously 1:3. After attending debate camp, that ratio changed to 3:2. In my fourth year of LD, I won more rounds than I ever won in all my first three years combined. This success is all contributed to God and Training Minds! — Eduardo A. Ricks, Louisiana

The camp was excellent and the coaches and instructors helped me learn so much. I can’t wait to go back next year! — Zach McLeod, Alabama
