Our Summer Chess Day Camps consist of chess instruction and play, as well as recreational activities. Camp starts at 9:00am ET and ends at 3:00pm ET. Aftercare (until 5:00pm ET) is available for an added fee. Campers will need to bring/pack a bag lunch each day. Since 1992, we have been providing challenging instruction and making chess fun for students. Our nationally certified chess teachers are experienced with all levels of ability. Camp will be challenging and interesting for all and our focus is on improving chess skills through practice and lessons. The teachers place more emphasis on learning than on winning. Good sportsmanship is the key to having fun.

Thousands of students have participated in our camps, with many enjoying camp so much that they return year after year and dozens continue to play at a master level. Our students have won more than a dozen national championships, hundreds have earned academic college scholarships, and more than 20 have become national masters. There will be about one teacher per ten students and enrollment is usually capped at about 32 campers for each week. Depending on the week and camp location, students rising into grades 2-7 or grades 3-9 are welcome.
