What are the Top 5 1/2 Reasons to Come to NIHD?

1. Christ-Centered
One of the main focuses of camp is to equip students with the skills to defend their faith and advance the kingdom. We do this through devotional groups, chapel sessions, and worship so that students can grow in their own walk with the Lord.

2. Evidence Labs & Cases
At NIHD 2025 you will receive the NIHD TP or LD casebook included with your registration! Lab groups will also develop strategies against popular arguments and research the resolution in-depth!

3. Professional Faculty
Learn from some of the best professional coaches and alumni in the nation! Coach Griffith will be joined by Isaiah McPeak as well as top alumni Sara Shipley, Charis Baker, Rachel Shipley, Daniela Thomas, Nathan Thomas, and more!

4. Something for Everyone
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to win nationals, NIHD is a great fit for you! We will have novice and advanced TP & LD tracks, speech, and Parliamentary debate options as well!

Get an edge up on your competition by competing in a full tournament before the season even starts! With at least 4 rounds in each debate format you will gain a deeper understanding of the resolution and your arguments through in-round experience.
