Chess Camps
Because this is our 21st year of offering camps, our
counselors are among the most experienced chess teachers found
anywhere. We coordinate daily activities and insruction to expand
the students' chess skills. Chess is known to teach logic,
problem solving, analysis techniques, and will improve study
habits. These skills will carry over to school and career.
But the main reason kids come back is. . .
We have fun!!

Camps are available to kids age 5-13 years. All
skill levels from beginner to advanced are encouraged to come.
Beginners who arrive without any knowledge of the game will become
proficient players from their camp experience; advanced players will
benefit from sharing classes and experiences with some of the top youth
players in the US.

outings are held.
Seasonal activities, like frisbee, soccer and hiking are planned so
