Best debate experience
I attended NSD's online camps. I made friends all over the country that I still talk to every day. I've been to a couple of debate camps but NSD is my favorite because of how much 1 on 1 debate tutoring and advice I was able to get from my instructors, which is so unique to NSD.

"2022 was my first year attending the NSD Philly PF camp. NSD went more in depth than all other coaching/camp experiences I've had. Labs were set at a good pace, and I was always working on something. A fun lab group activity we did together was play basketball and prepping in areas around the school."

"It was my first time at the NSD Philly PF camp. Lab leaders helped us learn how to drill and provided good lectures for us. I was able to work with a mentor frequently who helped explain contentions which help grow my understanding of debate concepts."

Best debate experience
"NSD moved at a good pace for someone like me who was just beginning to learn about debate. The program flowed really well and allowed us time to think and understand before moving on to another topic. Lab meetings were fun and so were meal times because we got to hang out with friends while also discussing debate related topics."

"I really liked the pace of our lab, it was engaging and I didn't get burned out. Sully was a great lab leader because he was fun and always offered his help, he also did a lot of work outside of lab for us. NSD was much better than other camps I have attended and I would return because it had great coaching and was a very fun experience."

Best debate experience
"This was my first year at NSD Philly PF. NSD was more interactive than other camps and coaching experiences I have had. I would definitely return for future years of NSD because it was fun and lab leaders and mentors were really helpful in learning about weighting tournaments, helping prep, and doing drills."
Kuber Sarwal | NSD Philadelphia PF Alum
Ridge High School
Best debate experience
"I found NSD’s Philly PF camp very helpful in improving my debate abilities. The staff was excellent and very attentive. I'm confident that absent my NSD experience, I wouldn't have been nearly as prepared to compete at major national circuit tournaments. I'd highly recommend NSD to anyone looking for a high quality and fun debate experience."
