才感盛夏，忽而已秋。光阴流转间，2024 WSDA暑期综合学术营的最后一站——昆山营地今天在美丽的昆山狄邦华曜学校落下帷幕。
回顾在营地学习生活的日子，令你印象深刻的是跟随各自Coach和Lab Leader沉浸在思辨与学术氛围中的乐此不疲，还是与优秀同龄人交流碰撞出思想花火的酣畅淋漓？是跨出舒适区探索自我更多潜能的勇敢无畏，还是离开父母也能独立学习生活的快速成长？

正如同学们在采访中所说，在过去十天的日日夜夜中，Coach和Lab Leader们不仅是同学们演讲辩论知识与技能上的传授者，更是同学们成长与蜕变的见证者。他们用智慧与博学带领同学们领略思辨的魅力，他们用耐心与热情点燃同学们心中探索未知的火焰，他们用付出与教导让同学们不再因迷茫而徘徊，他们用鼓励与陪伴激励同学们不断攀登演讲辩论的山巅。

Critical Thinking
My students and myself have a deeper meaning of critical thinking. We can look at something and see the pros of it. We can see the cons of it and make decisions based on the evidence we found.——Mike B
Academic
Everything that the students are learning is very academically oriented. All of the activities are things designed to help them with their studies. All of the skills that they’re building can really help them improve their marks.——Aaron
Passion&Enthusiasm
The students are so passionate about learning. We didn’t start until 9 o’clock except students were there at 8:30 every morning. And we started and they just wanted to learn more and more...——Mike W
Inspirational
I‘ve seen a lot of students who inspire themselves and their friends. I can see them challenge themselves. I can see them try to improve and be better beyond themselves.——Azim
Developing your personality
There’s a lot of confidence that you need to be able to communicate effectively within a debate. Those skills will help them in debate but it will also help them in school to be able to communicate their ideas clearly in the workplace when they finally get a job someday.——Esther
Expression
I would say expression and of course, part of that is ‘speaking eloquently’. You need to be able to use your own voice when you are presenting. Debate gives you an avenue to share your voice with people and that is especially obvious in WSDA summer camps.——Giuliette
Dynamic
After attending the WSDA camp for three years, I have come to realize its dynamic nature. I loved being among students from diverse backgrounds and hearing their unique inputs on different topics. I feel like I too am constantly learning new things from my students year after year.——Isabella
Friendship
As I say this to my students, for me, the camp is first and foremost about 'friendship' - the intellectual space of sociability. Regardless of one's attitude toward the competitive debate format, the community built around the harmony and dissonance of thoughts, through which real characters are built, is the simple greatest facilitator of the noblest philosophical friendships. The camp possesses the true magic of mobilizing all of one's senses to the utmost extent.——Geven
Diversity
We have students from all over China with their unique personalities and talents. It’s a mutual learning experience for everyone!——Jennifer
Learning community
We are a learning community that thrive everyone, not just to learn how to make great speech and debate, but also develop personal growth.——Lily
