NSD Philly PF taught me a lot more than other camps and was more invested in helping each student improve. I really enjoyed being able to hang out with my friends after a day of learning. I plan to come back to NSD because I want to keep progressing outside of the debate season and I think NSD is an affective way to progress my skills.
