"If I could choose any camp to go to in order to feel prepared for a new year of debate it would be NSD — it provided the perfect balance of education and friendliness, both ideals any camp should strive for, yet not many achieve."

"I met friends who I still stay in contact with today. Compared to other debate camps, I would say NSD has a more rigorous curriculum — it was very challenging yet rewarding. NSD prepared me well for the two most important seasons of my debate career."

"NSD stood out with its camp tournament, flexibility in debate styles, and the opportunity to compete and learn with the top debaters in the US. I became more confident in my skill level and knowledge in debate and left better prepared to debate with or against any style of debate."

"I attended NSD for four years and it played a transformative role in my debate career. NSD's faculty are unparalleled and boast a diverse skillset in argument style and content. More importantly, I made friends at NSD that I still spend time with today, even in college."
