Texas Quiz Bowl Camp

Texas Quiz Bowl is proud to announce our 12th annual Summer Camp. This summer students looking to advance their quiz bowl game can join TQBA and its group of teaching professionals for 35 hours of learning about quiz bowl clues, strategy, and study skills. Because of scheduling issues associated with the continuing COVID pandemic, quiz bowl camp this year will be held online via Zoom.
