BDL Summer Camp 2026 is a wrap. And what a summer it was. 🖤🎙️

Three weeks of showing up, speaking up, pushing back, and doing it all over again the next morning. By the end of it the growth in that room was something you could feel. Voices sharper. Confidence deeper. Connections built between young people who came in as strangers and left as something much closer than that.

This is what it looks like when high schoolers are given a real space to be great. They rise every single time. 🏆

To every student who walked through those doors this summer. You reminded us exactly why this work matters and why we will never stop doing it. We are beyond proud of each and every one of you. 🤍

To our donors, supporters, and parents who have been riding with BDL from the beginning. None of this exists without you. Your belief, your investment, and your continued trust in what we are building here means everything to us.

And to St. Francis for opening your doors and giving our students an incredible space to learn, grow, and find their voices this summer. We are deeply grateful. 🙏🏽

Brooklyn Debate League. Building the next generation one argument at a time. 🖤
