Chess Camp for all grades (Week-long)

Scholastic Chess Camp

Monday, Aug 11 | 9:30 am - 3:30 pm

Players of all skill levels will make friends, play games, and improve their understanding of chess with the help of our experienced chess instructors. Between their lessons and games, campers will also be given tours of the historic Mechanics’ Institute library and get to play other games and activities throughout the week.

Younger campers have a structured environment to develop their play through lessons, worksheets, and supervised games. Younger campers also get opportunities to practice other skills like using a chess clock and writing down games to review later.

Older campers will have opportunities to explore their chess interests. Local chess masters and other instructors will lead chess discussions, show example games, and analyze games.
