The chess club actually runs a chess camp! Might be of interest.

My son is not into sports and all the camps he loved when younger (Zoo and Audubon) either have limited options for his age (Zoo) or less interesting (Audubon.) He spent 6 weeks at Valley Mill last summer and really liked but is agitating for a change this year. I just can't find any other good options. Calleva seems way too intensely athletic (stuff like caving and mountain biking etc aren't his thing.)

I know most kids this age go to overnight camp OR just hang at home. But neither are good options for our family. Am I missing any great places for non-sporty middle school boys? Thanks!!
