We are known for providing fun and rigorous summer camps for students interested in becoming competitive debaters. Our track record speaks for itself.

"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."

"For parents thinking about sending their kids to camp, I’d 10/10 recommend it! It’ll help your child develop essential skills that further their debate skills and is a life experience that develops character and independence."

"I attended NSD every summer of high-school, which played an essential role in my success. NSD does a great job at both hiring instructors with a wide array of talents and creating extremely well-thought out and diverse curriculums. I attended other camps but none compared to NSD."
