For campers entering Grades 2-5.

Join us for our half day Chess camps!  Spend half the day with our chess instructors, and half the day sampling all that camp has to offer- swimming, sports and games, arts and crafts, and more! 

Beginner Level: This class is geared towards kids that are new or relatively new to chess. Learn and reinforce basic principles. This class covers the topics like: Piece names/movement, starting position, turn-sequence, piece values, special rules, general board competencies, and checks/checkmates. We’ll learn about notations for reading (and writing) games. We’ll do lots of problem-solving work, so be prepared to exercise your brain. 

 Students will be able to play with each other as well as their instructor to practice their skills and learn.

If your camper is more advanced than a beginner- we would be thrilled to have them, and we can always help them build on skills!

Exploration Camps help your camper delve into problems and learn new skills with:

• A close counselor-to-camper ratio within a small group structure
• Experienced and caring staff who love what they do
• A diverse and age-appropriate program with specialist driven and counselor driven activities
• A safe and close-knit community where children discover new interests and create lifelong friendships
• Developmentally appropriate instruction and game play

Join us for Camp Open house on Saturday June 10, 2023.  Our whole team will be on campus from 1-3pm to show you around, and answer any questions you may have.
