Camp Instructors

Ethan Tong (Head Coach)

July and August Camps

After three top-3 finishes and two National Oral Advocate awards in High School, Ethan began a coaching career in 2019. Since then, he's become the premier High School Moot Court coach in the nation. He's coached over 50 teams, including six National finalists and eleven #1 Oral Advocates. He co-founded HSMCA in 2025.

Caleb McClure

July Camp

Caleb graduated in 2026 with a plethora of accolades, including winning three HSMCA qualifiers, winning #1 Oral Advocate at the NAMC Championship, and winning Lincoln-Douglas at NCFCA Nationals. In just two years of competing, Caleb concluded his career as the third-highest-ranked Blackstone competitor of all time.

Kayla Jennings

August Camp

Kayla won the #1 Team Policy Speaker Award at the 2025 National Championship. Kayla then went to Patrick Henry College, where she competes on their Moot team. She and her partner took the 1st and 4th place Oral Advocate awards at the Yale Moot Court Regional Competition and placed first in the competition before going on to place within the top 16 at nationals.

“This was one of the best speech and debate related camps I’ve attended.” – Cooper

“No other organization or camp combines excellence in Moot with such a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Add in the fantastic celebrity coaches and guest judges and this camp is worth every bit of the time, money, and effort.” – Xander

“Not only was it very informative and helpful, but it was also very fun and engaging. I have never done another camp like this that made me laugh more or that did so many games.” – Hannah

“I had absolutely no idea about what moot court was, how it worked, or even the basics about a court. As a novice this camp really helped me gain an underlying understanding of Moot Court and how everything works. I now feel more equipped to start writing my cases and answering questions thanks to this!” – Morgan

This year, HSMCA is partnering with Blackstone Moot Court to bring you the highest quality Moot Court camp in the nation.

Since 2020, Blackstone has offered 13 summer camps, hosting over 300 students from across the nation. Blackstone coaches have also coached over 1,000 private sessions, and 6 of the last 8 Moot Court National Championship Finalists have been Blackstone students.

Whether you just competed at Moot Court Nationals or you have no idea what “petitioner and respondent” are, the camp will have plenty for you. We’ve split the camp into two tracks, beginner and advanced. The advanced instruction will teach students how to write elite-level cases, respond more directly to judge questions, and win close rounds. The beginner instruction will teach students how to master the style and demeanor, how to write compelling arguments, and how to read dense caselaw.

The camps will also feature lectures on the case this year, giving you a head start into this year’s exciting new packet!
