Camp Details

Times: 12:00pm-3:00pm daily (EST)

Location: Online through Discord

Who: Any student currently in, or about to graduate from, high school. Students from around the world are welcome.

Price: $250 CAD  (complete financial support is available, especially for those who wish to attend multiple camps – contact jeffrey.senese@utoronto.ca)

Deadline to register: Sunday, July 4

Register: HERE

Activities: What makes an argument strong? What makes it weak? How can I learn to dissect arguments like lawyers on TV? Through interactive games and engaging discussion, students will learn the anatomy/recipe to creating strong arguments (and exposing weak ones!). One hint: arguments have nothing to do with emotion and everything to do with structure and principles. With the help of a professional philosopher, you will learn this structure and how to wield it with confidence. Will you be able to handle this power? Only time will tell. . . . .

For questions contact Jeffrey.senese@utoronto.ca
