Summer Camp
Riverside Speech & Debate hosts a summer camp at RHS each year for potential new and returning team members. It’s a great way to learn what speech and debate are all about! Camp is typically held three weeks before the first day of school in the evenings and runs for two weeks. For more information or to register, contact David Dejesa.
Radio Play
The annual Radio Play is a beloved Riverside Speech & Debate tradition. Each year the team adapts an abridged version of Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol into a live stage production in the style of an old-fashioned Radio Play.
