Rise and Shine, Campers! Welcome to Day 1 of Camp One Clap! Today, we are sharing a cozy campfire chat with 2023 National Champion in Expository Speaking - Camp Counselor Josh Thompson!
Joshua Thompson is a Black Sealed, 4th Year Competitor, and one-time National Champion of Expository Speaking. He is from Cheyenne, Wyoming and competes at Cheyenne East High School. He has competed in Humor, Drama, Duo, Oratory, and Expository, and hopes to branch out for his senior year. Josh is thrilled to be a One Clap Camp Counselor, and he is excited to share his thoughts on Nationals and all things Speech and Debate!
