Climb the Mountain
Speech & Debate Foundation
About Us
Climb the Mountain is named from Speech and Debate expert Jim Hanson’s motivational speech calling on participants to achieve their very best. Climbing the Mountain is the apex of the effort to be successful in speech and debate—at the highest levels possible and among as many participants as possible.
We have in-person and online afterschool programs, at-school programs, and summer camps for elementary school, middle school, and high school students. We host tournaments for college debaters. We help students Climb the Mountain and become the best speakers and debaters they can be.
