Description
Take your place among the Knights of Chess. Campers learn the core foundations of chess — from starting positions and piece movement to captures, check, checkmate, stalemate and pawn promotion — while building confidence through guided play. Chess is known for developing focus, logic, memory and problem-solving skills, and you’ll put these skills into action through friendly matches and mini challenges throughout the week. The camp culminates in a fun tournament where you’ll showcase what you’ve learned and practice good sportsmanship.
Note: The camp day is 8:30am to 4:30pm. Camp programming runs from 9am to 4pm. Before & After Care is available for campers who require care before the camp day begins, from 7:30-8:30am, and after the camp day has ended, from 4:30-6pm. Separate registration is required.
