Programs

This camp will cater to all levels of ability, from beginners to those with ratings up to 1200. Students should arrive in class knowing how to move the pieces. For those who need instruction on piece movement before camp starts, we highly recommend that you create a free account at www.chesskid.com. The first 6 lessons on this site are interactive and teach students how to move each piece effectively. During the camp, there will be a well rounded balance of instruction, drills, free play, and a chess tournament. The tournament aims to engage students and foster a competitive spirit. The top 3 players winning trophies and everyone else receiving a medal. Instruction in the camp will focus on mastery of board vision, openings, the five basic mates and the most used chess tactics.
