Capitol Debate

Capitol Debate Summer Camps teach the fundamentals of public speaking and argumentation, enabling kids to develop core presentation and debating skills that boost confidence and self-esteem. Our debate camps teach students to structure arguments, prepare debate cases, research evidence, write rebuttal briefs, deliver speeches and refute opponent arguments. Capitol Debate's goal is to enrich the social, intellectual, and academic lives of our students through the art of communication. Since 2006, our academic camps have grown to serve thousands of students and are now hosted across the United States on over 15 campuses.

McCaffrey's Markets

Summer Fruit Start-Up – from local Farms to your local McCaffrey’s

Summer fruit is making its way to our McCaffrey’s Produce Departments by the end of May. Our two big buzzwords in our Produce Department are “local” and “organic.” As a family-owned & operated, local, independent market, we’ve partnered with a number of area growers to supply our stores with fresh produce. We’re also delineating “What’s in Season” and “Peak Season.” Or, what should be the freshest, best tasting, sweetest, ripest, and most nutritious! Look for signs throughout our produce department!
