    A beginner chess camp is designed for players who are new to the game or have limited experience. The camp focuses on teaching the fundamental rules, piece movements, and basic strategies, such as controlling the center and piece development. Players will learn how to checkmate, avoid common mistakes, and understand basic tactics like forks and pins.

  • US Chess Rating: 300-599
    An intermediate chess camp is designed for players who already have a basic understanding of the game and are looking to improve their skills. The camp focuses on enhancing strategic thinking, studying common openings, and mastering tactics such as skewers, discovered attacks, and tactical motifs.

    In our Advanced Chess Camp, kids who have participated in tournaments and have a US Chess rating of 600 or higher will further develop their skills with a focus on advanced tactics and strategies.

Camp Policies

  • Refund and Registration

    Registration must be completed online prior to the start of the camp week. Full camp refunds are available until Thursday at 11:59 p.m. before the camp week. We reserve the right to dismiss students from camp due to repeated disruptive behavior, and in such cases, refunds will not be issued.

  • Snack Time

    We will have a designated snack period in the middle of the camp sessions for students to enjoy their snacks; we will provide one snack per three-hour camp session. Please inform us during registration if your child has any allergies. Students must eat snacks in a designated snack area— snacks must not be consumed during class or Open Play. 

  • Photography and Media

    By registering for the camp, parents grant permission for their child to be photographed or filmed for promotional purposes. If parents do not wish for their child to be included in promotional materials, they must inform us in writing during registration.
